shifting use
Read a random definition: major
A quick definition of shifting use:
Shifting use is when something is used for a certain purpose, but then changes to a different purpose when a specific event happens. For example, a building might be used as a dance club, but then change to a different use when the owner receives a certain amount of money. This is a type of conditional limitation.A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A use arising from the occurrence of a certain event that terminates the preceding use.
Example: "To A for the use of B, but then to C when D pays $1,000 to E."
This means that B has the use of the property until D pays $1,000 to E, at which point the use shifts to C. This is a type of conditional limitation.
