G.Status of permitted uses which become conditional uses. Any land use legally established on a particular
parcel( s) of land as a permitted principal use prior to the enactment of this ordinance, and which land use type is
subsequently reclassified from a permitted use to a conditional use, shall continue to be considered a permitted
use, rather than a nonGonforming use, as
long as the use is not abandoned or discontinued for more than 180
days.

Director, then an application for reestablishment of that conditional use shall require compliance with the
provisions of this subdivision.
2. Should the use be destroyed by fire, explosion or other casualty, act of God or the
public enemy, the use
may be reestablished to exactly the same use and intensity as the use enjoyed prior to the destruction,
without the requirement to seek approval of a conditional use as provided in this subdivision.
3. Permitted uses which subsequently become conditional uses, may only expand or modify the use
upon application for a conditional use as provided in this subdivision. The use would then be subject
to any conditions imposed in the approval of an expansion, including those to use as it exists at the
time of the request.
H. Recording of change of status. If there is a change in the status of the conditional use such that it
is abandoned, ceased or revoked pursuant to subsections 1., 2. and 3.
