In the case of a nonconforming use created by a public acquisition, the following shall apply:
A. If a structure is located upon a lot, a portion of which is acquired for any public use (by condemnation, purchase, dedication or otherwise) by any governmental entity, such structure may be maintained upon the remaining portion of said lot, and may thereafter be used, maintained or repaired without relocating or altering the same to comply with the development standards of this title.
B. If such structure is partially located upon the property being acquired for public use, it may be relocated upon the same lot or premises without observing the required setback adjacent to the new lot line created by such acquisition, and without reducing the number of dwelling units to conform to the development standards of the zone in which it is located.
C. If a lot does not comply with the development standards of the zone due to an acquisition of a portion thereof for public use, or if a legally existing nonconforming lot is reduced in size due to an acquisition of a portion thereof for public use, the remainder of said lot (so long as the remainder is smaller in area or width than one-half of the minimum area or width required for the zone in which it is located) may continue to be utilized as a conforming lot. However, all other development standards shall still apply to any construction thereafter.
