A. Existing Structures. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Zoning Code, the lawful use of structures existing prior to the Effective Date of this Zoning Code may continue and none of the other Articles of this Zoning Code shall apply, as though the prior zoning of the parcel remained in place, until use of the existing structure (including any expansions) has been discontinued in its entirety, at which time the prior zoning shall become inapplicable and the other sections of this Zoning Code shall apply from that point forward. B. Allowed Uses. For parcels with legal uses of structures existing prior to the Effective Date of this Zoning Code, allowed uses of the prior zone are allowed to continue, and none of the other Articles of this Zoning Code shall apply to the structure and use, until the existing use (including any expansions) has been discontinued in its entirety. C. Conditional Uses. For parcels with legal uses of structures existing prior to the Effective Date of this Zoning Code that were conditionally permitted uses under a prior version of the Zoning Code, such uses are allowed to continue, and none of the other Articles of this Zoning Code shall apply, provided that such uses continue to comply with all conditions that were imposed at the time the original use was approved, and until the existing uses (including any expansions) have been discontinued in their entirety. D. Development Standards. For parcels with legal uses of structures existing prior to the Effective Date of this Zoning Code, development standards of the prior zone shall apply, and none of the other Articles of this Zoning Code shall apply, until the existing use (including any expansions) has been discontinued in its entirety.
