(A) Where a lawful structure exists at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this chapter that could not be built under the terms of this chapter by reason of restrictions on area, lot coverage, height, yards, its location on the lot, or other requirements concerning the structure, the structure may continue so long as it remains otherwise lawful.
(B) Any proposed addition or substantial remodeling of a nonconforming structure may be granted after public hearing as a dimensional variance by the Board of Adjustment. The Board must first determine that the proposed addition or substantial remodeling will not facilitate or expand a nonconforming use before a variance can be granted.
(C) Any existing manufactured or mobile home in any district within the city which does not conform with §§ 152.170 through 152.178 shall be classified as a nonconforming use at the time of passage of this chapter and shall be allowed to remain in the existing location as long as the mobile home is occupied by the present residents. Should the present owner or residents decide to move, the right of maintaining the manufactured or mobile home in a manner not in conformance with §§ 152.170 through 152.178 shall terminate and the owner or renter shall be required to bring the lot and its use into compliance with §§ 152.170 through 152.178 and all other applicable sections of this chapter.
