From the ordinance
Where, at the effective date of this ordinance or amendments thereto, lawful use exists of buildings, structures, or land, individually or in combination, which use is made no longer permissible under the terms of this division as enacted or amended, such use may be continued so long as the then existing or a more restricted use continues and it is not discontinued for more than two years, and so long as the nonconforming use does not undergo a change in character of the use in existence upon adoption of the Zoning Ordinance on April 22, 1997, as Ordinance No. 1137.
