A nonconforming building or structure which is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty or act of God, to the extent that the cost of restoration to the condition in which it was before the occurrence shall exceed 100 percent of the assessed valuation of the entire building at the time of the casualty, shall not be restored unless said building or structure, and the use thereof, shall conform to all of the regulations of the district in which it is located. In the event such damage or destruction is less than 100 percent of the assessed valuation of the entire building new, no repairs or reconstruction shall be made unless such restoration is started within one year from the date of partial destruction and is diligently prosecuted to completion. If the restoration is not started within one year of said calamity and diligently prosecuted to completion, the building or structure shall be removed and the area cleared.
