The PRO district shall be limited in size so as not to create or significantly extend strip commercial development. The PRO district may be considered consistent with the LD -2, MD -1, MD -21 MXD, and commercial land use designations of the County's Comprehensive Plan when established based on the criteria in this ordinance. In order to further encourage redevelopment, any legally nonconforming structure may continue to be utilized, and its use may be changed from one nonconforming or conforming use category to another use category permitted in the PRO district, not withstanding any provision of Sec. 25(j) (4) (a) of this ordinance to the contrary. All other requirements of Section 25 (J) of the General Provisions Section, "Nonconformities", must be complied with. This shall be permitted provided the change of use of the legally nonconforming structure receives site plan approval, or any other necessary approvals.
