No building permit shall be issued for the construction, reconstruction, or structural alteration of a building and/or its parking area, nor shall a certificate of occupancy be granted for a use without conformity with the provisions of these landscape regulations. However, the following shall be exempt from the landscape regulations of this chapter:
A. Reconstruction or replacement of a lawfully-existing use or structure following casualty loss.
