Nothing in this chapter shall be taken to prevent the restoration of a building destroyed to the extent of not more than 75% of its reasonable value, by fire, explosion or other casualty, or act of God, or the public enemy, nor the continued occupancy or use of such building or part thereof which existed at the time of such partial destruction. Further, nothing in this chapter shall be taken to require a bufferyard, screening fence or building setback as identified in § 6.300, in order to restore a building that may have been partially destroyed by fire, explosion, or other casualty, or act of God, or the public enemy when such building is located on land adjacent to property or across the alley from property that for any reason is or has been rezoned to a one- or two-family district.
