9-8-14: COMPLIANCE WITH EXISTING ZONING REGULATIONS:
Any new structure in a historic district or preservation district shall conform to all setback requirements of the zone in which it is to be built or moved. If a historic landmark or a structure in a historic district or preservation district has lost fifty percent (50%) or more of its assessed value due to fire, explosion, act of God, or other natural disasters, it may be placed upon its original foundation or the site of the original foundation, and it shall be reconstructed as near as possible to the original exterior design. If the original foundation or site thereof is found to be noncompliant with the zoning ordinance in effect at the time, reconstruction shall require approval by the board of adjustment prior to beginning construction.
