(b) Should the nonconforming structure or nonconforming portion thereof be damaged by more than fifty percent of its fair market value, as estimated by a professionally recognized or certified appraiser, by fire, neglect, or by an act of God, it may, only after a zoning permit is issued, be reconstructed as it previously existed and restored on the same building footprint. All remaining debris shall be cleared away and disposed of properly within two months of the time of destruction. The nonconforming structure may be restored on the same footprint, provided such restoration begins two months after the damage occurred and is completed by the time period designated in the zoning permit.
(c) The Zoning Administrator shall issue a permit if he or she finds that in completing the renovation, repair, or replacement work that the permittee will comply to the extent reasonably possible with all provisions of this Planning and Zoning Code.
