Where a lawful structure exists at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this Zoning Ordinance that could not be built under the terms of this Zoning Ordinance by reason of restrictions on area, lot coverage, height, yards, its location on the lot, intensity or other requirements concerning the structure, the structure may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions:
(a) No nonconforming structure may be enlarged or altered in a way which increases its nonconformity, but any structure or portion thereof may be altered to decrease its nonconformity;
(Ord. 98-104, passed 9-14-1998)
(b) Should the nonconforming structure or nonconforming portion of a structure be destroyed by any means to the extent of more than 50% of the cost of replacement, as set forth in § 1173.12, it shall not be reconstructed except in conformity within the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance; and
(Ord. 99-132, passed 10-11-1999)
