<div class="chunk-content">
            <p class="p0">
               Any adult business or sexually oriented business lawfully operating on the effective
               date of the ordinance from which this article is derived, that is in violation of
               this chapter shall be deemed a nonconforming use. Any use which is determined to be
               nonconforming by application of the provisions of this section shall be permitted
               to continue for a period not to exceed two years, or the length of the current lease
               agreement on said property, whichever shall be for a shorter period of time. Such
               nonconforming uses shall not be increased, enlarged, extended, or altered except that
               the use may be changed to a conforming use. If a nonconforming use is discontinued
               for a period of 180 days or more it may not be reestablished. If two or more adult
               businesses or sexually oriented adult businesses are within 1,000 feet of one another
               and otherwise in a permissible location, the business which was first established
               and continually operating at its present location shall be considered the conforming
               use and the later-established business shall be considered nonconforming. An adult
               business or sexually oriented adult business lawfully operating as a conforming use
               shall not be rendered nonconforming by the subsequent location of a church, house
               of worship, day care center, school, playground, public swimming pool, or public park
               within 1,000 feet of the adult business or sexually oriented business.
