A non-conforming structure may continue to exist, provided it remains otherwise lawful. It shall be regulated as follows:
(a) No non-conforming structure may be enlarged or altered in any way that increases its non-conformity, but a structure may be altered to decrease its non-conformity.
(b) Should a non-conforming structure or non-conforming portion of a structure be damaged, destroyed or demolished by any means, it may be reconstructed or repaired; but it may not exceed the number of square feet of floor area nor the number of cubic feet it contained prior to its damage, destruction, or demolition.
(c) Should a non-conforming structure be moved for any reason, for any distance, it shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the zone in which it is located after it is moved. However, said structure may be moved to another location on the same lot by appeal to the Board of Adjustment under Article 7 herein.
