Section 155.8.17 Reconstruction Damage More Than 50%.
   If such building or structure as described in the preceding paragraph is damaged to an extent equal to or greater than 50% of the value as specified in the preceding paragraph, then such building may only be reconstructed if it is brought into full compliance with Article 155.11, Part I (Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance); Article 155.9, Part I (Off-Street Parking and Off-Street Loading Requirements); and the setback requirements contained in Section 155.6.5. In the event the number of units in the building that existed before the damage cannot be rebuilt because of an inability to meet the requirements of this paragraph, a building containing a lesser number of units (but more than are permitted under the zoning applicable to the property) may be rebuilt so long as all applicable requirements of the UDO, to include this paragraph, are met. For example, a damaged quadraplex in a zoning district permitting only single-family units cannot be rebuilt because the current parking requirements cannot be met. However, a duplex can be built on the subject property that will meet the requirements of the UDO and this section. In this situation, a duplex may be constructed in this zoning district.
