No such nonconforming use shall be enlarged, increased, or extended to occupy a greater area of land than was occupied on the effective date of adoption or amendment of this Title, unless the additions conform in all respects to this Title or are approved under the procedures and standards for variances.
2. No such nonconforming use shall be moved in whole or in part to any other portion of the lot or parcel occupied by such use on the effective date of adoption or amendment of this Title.
