A building or other structure existing lawfully at the time this Planning and Zoning Code, or any amendment thereto, became or becomes effective, but which does not conform to area or width of lot, yard dimensions, lot coverage, height of building or other regulations of the district in which it is located, is a lawful, nonconforming building or structure. Such structure may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, provided:
(a) In the event such nonconforming building or structure is occupied by a nonconforming use, the restrictions for nonconforming uses in Section 1145.04 shall prevail.
(b) Such nonconforming structure may be expanded, remodeled, or enlarged on the same lot, provided such expansion, remodeling or enlargement is in conformance with current version of the Planning and Zoning Code.
(c) Should such nonconforming structure be destroyed by fire or other casualty to an extent of more than sixty-six percent (66%) of the structure, as calculated by the Village Engineer utilizing the footprint of the building measured around its perimeter and including all levels of the structure, the remainder of the building shall be demolished and shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of the Planning and Zoning Code.
(d) Should the owner of the property intentionally demolish more than fifty percent (50%) of the area of the structure, as calculated by the Village Engineer utilizing the footprint of the building measured around its perimeter and including all levels of the structure, the remainder of the building shall be demolished and shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of the Planning and Zoning Code.
(e) If a nonconforming structure becomes physically unsafe or unlawful due to lack of repairs and maintenance, and is declared by any duly authorized official to be unsafe or unlawful by reason of physical condition, it shall not thereafter be restored, repaired, or rebuilt except in conformity with the regulations of the district in which it is located.
