(a) Continuation. Any structure which is devoted to a use which is permitted in the zoning district in which it is located, but which is located on a lot which does not comply with the applicable lot size requirements and/or development standards, may be continued, so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the restrictions of subsections (b) to (d).
(b) Enlargement, Repair, Alterations. Any such structure described in subsection (a) hereof may be enlarged, maintained, repaired, or structurally altered, provided, however, that no such enlargement, maintenance, repair, or structural alteration shall either create any additional nonconformity of all or any part of such structures, except that as to structures located on a lot that does not comply with the applicable lot size requirements, the side yard requirements shall be determined by subsection (b) or (c), whichever is applicable.
(c) Damage or Destruction. In the event that any such structure described in subsection (a) is damaged or destroyed, by any means, to the extent of more than fifty percent (50%) of the current replacement cost of the entire structure, such structure shall not be restored unless it shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the zoning district in which it is located, provided that structures located on a lot that does not comply with the applicable lot size requirements shall not in any event be required to provide a side yard that exceeds the yard requirements in subsection (b) or (c), whichever is applicable. When a structure is damaged to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or less, no repairs or restoration shall be made unless a zoning certificate is obtained and restoration is actually begun within one year after the date of such partial destruction.
(d) Moving. No structure described in subsection (a) shall be moved in whole or in part for any distance whatever, to any other location on the same or any other lot, unless the entire structure shall thereafter conform to the regulations of the zoning district in which it will be located after being moved.
