Where a lawful structure exists at the effective date of adoption of this chapter that could not be built under the terms of this chapter by reasons of restrictions on area, lot coverage, height, yards, its location on the lot, or other requirements concerning the structure, such structure may be continued as long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions.
(A) No such nonconforming structure may be enlarged or altered in a way which increases its nonconformity, but any structure or portion thereof may be altered to decrease its nonconformity.
(B) Should such structure be moved for any reason whatever, it shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the district in which it is located after it is moved.
(C) If any such nonconforming structure ceases being used for any reason for a period of more than one year, any subsequent use of such structure shall conform to the regulations specified by this chapter for the district in which such structure is located.
