Nonconforming junkyards may continue in existence as long as they are not extended, enlarged, or changed in use, and are otherwise lawfully maintained.

If the location of a nonconforming junkyard is changed for any reason, it ceases to be nonconforming and shall be treated as a new junkyard at a new location.
