Nonconforming buildings or structures may be structurally changed, altered or enlarged with the approval of the Board of Zoning Appeals. The Board of Zoning Appeals must find that the request is a case of exceptional hardship in which failure to grant the relief requested would unreasonably restrict continued use of the property or would restrict valuable benefits that the public currently derives from the property as used in its nonconforming status. With the exception that any approval for structural changes, alteration or enlargement may be granted only with a finding by the Board of Zoning Appeals that approval will not have an adverse affect on surrounding property and that it will be the minimum necessary to relieve the hardship.
