A. Continuation: A nonconforming structure in any zone may be continued as provided in this chapter so long as no additions or enlargements are made thereto and no structural alterations are made therein, except as may be required by law. If any nonconforming structure is removed from the lot or parcel on which it was located, each future structure thereon shall conform to the provisions of this title.
B. Maintenance And Repair: A nonconforming structure may be maintained. Repairs and structural alterations may be made to a nonconforming structure within the existing footprint thereof; provided, that the degree of nonconformity is not increased.
C. Enlargement And Expansion: Any expansion of a nonconforming structure that increases the degree of nonconformance is prohibited, except as provided in this subsection:
1. The initial determination of whether a proposed expansion increases the degree of nonconformity shall be made by the zoning administrator. (Ord. 394, 8-7-2001)
2. A structure which is nonconforming as to height, area, or yard regulations may be added to or enlarged upon authorization by the appeals and variance hearing officer; provided, that the appeals and variance hearing officer, after a hearing, finds the expansion to be compatible with the neighborhood and not detrimental to the community, as determined by the effect of the expansion on traffic, value of adjacent and nearby properties, and the availability of adequate public facilities and services. (Ord. 815, 4-1-2008, eff. 7-1-2008)
D. Relocation: If a nonconforming structure is relocated within the city, it shall be placed only in a location where it fully conforms with the requirements of this title.

F. Unsafe Structures: Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit the continuing use of a structure found to be in violation of any applicable life safety or health code. The right to continue use of a nonconforming structure shall be subject to the life safety requirements of applicable housing, building, health, and other life safety codes. (Ord. 394, 8-7-2001)
