Any authorized conditional use which has been discontinued shall not be re-established or recommenced except pursuant to a new conditional use permit. The following shall constitute conclusive evidence that the conditional use has been discontinued: A. A permit to change the use of the property has been issued and the new use has been established; or B. The property has not been devoted to the authorized conditional use for more than twenty-four (24) consecutive months. Property which is vacant, except for dead storage of materials or equipment of the conditional use, shall not be considered as being devoted to the authorized conditional use. The expiration of licenses necessary for the conditional use shall be evidence that the property is not being devoted to the conditional use. A conditional use in a multi-family structure or a multi-tenant commercial structure shall not be considered as discontinued unless all units are either vacant or devoted to another use. (Ord. 113262 § 5, 1986.)
