(A) Authority to Continue. Where a lawful structure exists at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this chapter that could not now be built under the terms of this chapter by reason of restrictions on area, lot, coverage, height, yards, its location on the lot, bulk, or other requirements concerning the structure, such structure may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful.
(B) Structural Alteration or Enlargement. No such non-conforming structure may be enlarged or altered in a way which increases its non-conformity, but any structure or portion thereof may be altered to decrease its nonconformity.
(C) Extension of Use. A non-conforming use may be extended throughout any parts of a building which were manifestly arranged or designed for such use at the time of adoption or amendment of this chapter, but no such use shall be extended to occupy any land outside such building.
(D) Moving. Should such structure be moved for any reason for any distance whatever, it shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the district in which it is located after it is moved.
(E) Damage or Destruction. Should such non-conforming structure or non-conforming portion of structure be destroyed by any means to the extent of more than 50% of the fair market value of the building immediately prior to the damage, it shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of this chapter.
