Where a building or structure was lawful on the effective date of adoption of this UDO, but could not be built under the terms of this UDO by reason of restrictions on area, lot coverage, height, yards, or other characteristics of the building or structure or its location on the lot, such building or structure may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions:
(A) No nonconforming building or structure may be enlarged or altered in a way which will create a new nonconformity or increase the degree of the existing nonconformity.
(B) Should a nonconforming building or structure be destroyed by any means to an extent of more than 50% of its replacement cost at time of destruction, it shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of this UDO. Replacement cost shall be based upon the assessed value or an appraisal completed within the last two years or the amount for which the structure was insured prior to the date of the damage or destruction. No nonconforming building or structure shall be moved in whole or in part to any other location unless every portion of such building or structure and the use thereof is made to conform to all regulations of the district into which it is moved.
