That the proposed use has been appropriately conditioned to prevent undesirable effects <br />of the proposed use and to assure consistency of the project with the Act and the local <br />Master Program. <br />h. When converting from one nonconforming use to a different nonconforming use, the <br />applicant must demonstrate that no reasonable alternative conforming use is practical <br />and that the proposed use will be at least as consistent with the policies and provisions
