   To avoid undue hardship, nothing in this Code shall be deemed to require a change in the plans, construction or designated use of any building on which actual construction was lawfully begun prior to the effective date of adoption or amendment of this Code and upon which actual building construction has been carried on diligently. Actual construction is hereby defined to include the placing of construction materials in permanent position and fastened in a permanent manner. Where excavation or demolition or removal of an existing building has been substantially commenced, such substantial excavation, demolition or removal shall be deemed to be actual construction, provided that work is carried on diligently after such excavation, demolition or removal. For the purposes of this Section 1107.05 substantial excavation, demolition or removal shall mean the completion of at least seventy- five (75) percent of the scope of applicable work.
