Where a lawful structure exists at the effective date of adoption or amendment hereof that could not be built under the terms of this chapter by reason of restriction on lot area, lot coverage, height, yards, its location on the lot, or other requirements concerning the structure, such structure may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions.
(A) Increase in nonconformity. No such nonconforming structure may be altered or enlarged in any way which increases its nonconformity, but any structure or portion thereof may be altered to decrease its nonconformity.
(B) Destruction. Should such nonconforming structure or nonconforming portion of a structure be destroyed by any means, it shall not be reconstructed except in a way that will not increase the preexisting nonconformity.
(C) Moved. Should such structure be moved for any reason for any distance whatever, it shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the district in which it is located after it is moved.
