No existing building devoted to a legal nonconforming use as permitted by this zoning code in the district in which such building is located, except when required to do so by law or order, shall be enlarged, extended, reconstructed, or structurally altered, unless such use is changed to a use permitted in the district in which such building is located. However, a nonconforming use may be extended upon a lot occupied by that use if the extension does not exceed 25% of the land area covered by the existing nonconforming use and does not violate any of the yard or height requirements of the district in which it is located or other provisions of this code. Such extension must be approved by the Planning Commission prior to the issuance of a building permit or zoning certificate. Only one extension shall be permitted onto the original building or land area up to the maximum 25%.
