(A) If a nonconforming building or structure or building containing a nonconforming use is damaged or destroyed, by any means, to the extent of 50% or more of its fair market value, based on the valuation of the township assessor, then it shall not thereafter be reconstructed or repaired unless in full compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
(B) In the event the damage or destruction is less than 50% of its fair market value, the building or structure may then be restored to its preceding condition and the occupancy and use of the building or structure which existed at the time of the damage may be continued, provided that the restoration is completed within 12 months of the date of damage or destruction.
