Any building or structure, existing and in use, or land devoted to a non-conforming use on the effective date of this Ordinance may not be altered or enlarged in a manner and form resulting in the extension of such nonconforming use, provided, however, that the Village Board of Zoning Appeals shall have the power to grant a variance under the provisions of Chapter 1149, allowing such extension under conditions as follows:
(a) The total alteration, one time enlargement or extension of any existing structure or structures or the erection of additional structure shall not increase the nonconforming area of such original structure or structures by a total of more than twenty-five percent (25%).
(b) Such enlargement and/or extension shall not be detrimental in consideration of the surrounding neighborhood, but that the granting thereof shall remove an unnecessary hardship as to the owner thereof.
(c) The extension of such non-conforming use shall not reduce the area of a contiguous or adjacent conforming use.
(d) When authorized by the Board of Zoning Appeals, in accordance with the provision of Chapter 1149, the substitution for a non-conforming use of another not more objectionable non-conforming use may be considered.
