A. A structure with a nonconforming use shall not be enlarged in volume nor increased in area. However, in the case of a structure that is nonconforming to development standards only:
1. The Community Development Director may administratively allow an increase in area or length to the structure if this increase is not more than ten percent of the existing structure, provided that all other regulations of the zone are met.
B. When the use is nonconforming due to parking requirements, the structure subject to the nonconforming use may not be enlarged or altered to create additional dwelling area, guest rooms, seating capacity or floor area, unless additional parking is provided to meet current parking requirements except as otherwise provided in FMC 15.30.060.E. The foregoing shall not restrict the expansion of a single-family residence in any residential zone that is nonconforming only by virtue of less than the currently required garage, provided that the residence was legally constructed and has since been legally maintained with less than the current requirement.
C. Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, a proposal to add units to a property zoned for or improved with an existing multiple-family residential development shall be required to provide additional parking for the additional units in accordance with standards in effect at the time the units are proposed. In the case where the total number of units on the property does not exceed four, the proposed development shall not have to provide parking for the existing units other than what was required when constructed. In the case where the number of units on the property is five or more, the proposed development shall be required to provide parking for the existing units in accordance with current parking standards.
