A. Nonconforming Structure Used for Conforming Use
A nonconforming structure used for a conforming use shall not be enlarged or structurally altered in any way that increases the nonconformity. (For example, a structure that has a side yard setback of five feet where the Code requires a minimum side yard setback of ten feet cannot be enlarged so as to further encroach into the required side yard.) Enlargement, expansion, or alteration of the structure in a way that complies with applicable dimensional standards, or alteration of the structure in a way that decreases the degree of nonconformity, is permitted. Repairs and maintenance to the nonconformity that are required to keep the nonconformity in a safe condition are permitted.
B. Nonconforming Structure Used for Nonconforming Use
A nonconforming structure used for a nonconforming use shall not be enlarged or structurally altered in any way, including enlargement, expansion, or alteration of the structure in a way that complies with applicable dimensional standards, or alteration of the structure in a way that decreases the degree of nonconformity. A nonconforming structure used for a nonconforming use shall comply with the Minor Repairs and Maintenance standards in Section 155.7205.B, Minor Repairs and Maintenance.
