Sec. 27-49.  Use becoming nonconforming by changes in law or boundaries.

Whenever the use of a building structure or premises becomes a nonconforming use through a change in the zoning regulations or district boundaries, such use may be continued and if no structural alterations are made, it may be changed to another nonconforming use in the same zoning district or a use in a less intensive district, “R-1” being less intensive and “I-2”  being a more intensive district, subject to the provisions of this chapter.  Whenever a nonconforming use has been changed to a use in a less intensive district or to a conforming use, such use shall not thereafter be changed to a more intensive nonconforming use.
