To avoid undue hardship, this Zoning Code does not 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 Zoning Code and upon which actual building construction has been diligently carried on. Actual construction includes the placing of construction materials in permanent position and fastened in a permanent manner; except that where demolition or removal of an existing building has been substantially begun preparatory to rebuilding, such demolition or removal is deemed to be actual construction, provided that work is diligently carried on until completion of the building involved.
