Subject to the provisions of this section, a nonconforming structure or use may be continued but shall not be altered, changed, or extended except as provided herein. Other than those expansions specifically permitted by section 16.52.035, the expansion of nonconforming uses shall not be permitted.

A structure conforming as to use but nonconforming as to height, setback, or coverage may be altered or extended as follows:
A. If the new or reconstructed area meets all development standards and code requirements, a nonconforming structure application is not required.
B. The Planning Commission may allow existing nonconforming structures to be reconstructed over existing legally approved building footprints. Approval of a nonconforming structure application under this Chapter is required.
C. The Planning Commission may allow additions to structures that are nonconforming as to height or setbacks if the new building area is no more out of conformance than the existing structure. For example, an addition to a home with a reduced side yard setback may be allowed if the addition has the same reduced side year setback or is less out of conformance. Approval of a nonconforming structure application under this Chapter is required. This Chapter may not be used to allow additions further out of conformance as to building height or setbacks than existing structures.
D. The Planning Commission may allow additions to structures that are nonconforming as to coverage requirements. Approval of a nonconforming structure application under this Chapter is required. (Ord. 805 section 3 [part], 1987; Ord. 740 section 10.3.80(B), 1984; Ord 1237, 2007)
