Any nonconforming building which has been damaged by fire, wind, explosion, flood, or other causes may be reconstructed or repaired and used as before provided:
(A) The repairs or reconstruction are initiated within six months and are completed within one year of such damage (except that an extension may be approved by the Zoning Administrator provided reasonable progress is being made);
(B) The total amount of space devoted to a nonconforming use may not be increased; and
(C) The building has not been declared by the Zoning Administrator to have been damaged to such an extent that the repair costs will exceed 60% of the fair market value of the damaged building immediately before the damage was incurred. If a building is damaged by fire, wind, explosion, flood, or other cause to such a degree that repair costs will exceed 60% of fair market value immediately before the damage was incurred, the nonconforming building may be reconstructed or repaired and used as before provided that the building may not contain more area, or in any way increase the nonconformity of the building or the lot on which it is located.
