The Board of Zoning Appeals may, in specific cases, after public notice and hearing and subject to such conditions and safeguards as the Board may establish, determine and interpret the application of the use district regulations established in this Zoning Code. The action of the Board shall be confirmed by resolution of Council before becoming effective. The Board may:
(a) Permit the extension of a building or use into a more restricted district immediately adjacent thereto, but not more than fifty feet beyond the boundary line of the district in which such building or use is authorized;
(b) Permit the extension of a nonconforming use or building upon the lot occupied by such use or building at the time of the passage of this Zoning Code, provided, however, that such extension is limited to fifty percent of the floor space occupied by such nonconforming use at the time of the passage of this Zoning Code;
(c) Permit in a use district any use that is believed by the Board to be in general keeping with the uses authorized in such district; and
(d) Grant, in undeveloped sections of the City, temporary and conditional permits, for not more than two-year periods, for structures and uses that do not conform to the regulations prescribed for the use district in which they are to be located. Such permits shall not be renewable.
