No nonconforming use shall be enlarged, extended, reconstructed, or structurally altered, except as follows:
(a) The Board may permit, on a once-only basis, a building containing a nonconforming use to be enlarged to an extent not exceeding fifty percent (50%) of the ground floor area of the existing building or structure devoted to a nonconforming use at the time of enactment of this Ordinance or at the time of its amendment making the use non conforming. The Board except under conditions of a variance pursuant to Chapter 1147, shall not authorize an extension which would result in a violation of the provision of this Ordinance with respect to any adjoining premises, or which would occupy ground space required for meeting the yard or other requirements of this Ordinance.
(b) No nonconforming building or structure shall be moved in whole or in part to any other location unless such building or structure and the yard and other open spaces provided are made to conform to all of the regulations of the district in which such building or structure is to be located.
(c) Any residential structure which is nonconforming due to the fact of its being in a non- residential zoning district may be enlarged, extended, reconstructed or structurally altered provided it meets the requirements of the adjacent or most proximate R- District.
(d) Any structure which is nonconforming due to its location or configuration on the lot, resulting in lot coverage or yards inconsistent with the requirements of the zoning district where it is located, may be enlarged, extended or structurally altered in a manner that decreases or maintains its existing degree of nonconformity, but in no case shall such structure be enlarged, extended or structurally altered in a manner that increases its degree of nonconformity.
