(a) A nonconforming use, structure or lot does not include nonconformity with regulations pursuant to a legally granted variance from a zoning regulation.
(b) Ordinary repairs, repair or replacement of non-bearing walls, fixtures, wiring, or plumbing may be performed on a nonconforming structure or on any portion of a structure that contains a nonconforming use provided that the cubic content shall not be increased and no structural parts shall be replaced except when required by law to restore such building or structure to a safe condition or to make the building or structure conform to the regulations of the district in which it is located.
(c) No change may be made to a nonconforming use or structure without review and authorization by the Board of Zoning Appeals unless the use of such building or structure is changed to a conforming use.
(d) Such authorization shall be issued only if the Board finds, after a public hearing, that the proposed change, extension or alteration is no more harmful or objectionable than the current nonconforming use or structure and only if the estimated cost of the proposed change, extension or alteration does not exceed 25 percent of the assessed value of the building or structure.
