Where a lawful building or structure exists at the effective date of adoption of this chapter that could not now be built under the terms of this chapter by reason of restriction on area, zoning lot coverage, height, yards, its location on the lot, bulk, or other requirements concerning the building or structure, such building or structure may be continued and altered so long as the nonconforming building or structure remains otherwise lawful. However, no such nonconforming building or structure may be altered, enlarged, or moved in a way that increases any aspect of any nonconformity as defined or otherwise identified under this chapter or increases volume for a nonconforming encroachment into a setback, but any building or structure may be altered to decrease any nonconformity
