The lawful use of a building existing at the time of the adoption
of this Chapter (May 18, 1970) or an amendment hereto may be continued
even though such use does not conform with the provisions hereof.
If no structural alterations are made, a non-conforming use of a building
may be changed to another non-conforming use of the same or more restricted
classifications. The foregoing provisions shall also apply to non-conforming
uses in districts as may be hereafter changed. Whenever a non-conforming
use of a building has been changed to a more restricted use or to
a conforming use, such use shall not thereafter be changed to a less
restricted use.

(60%) of its reproduction value may be repaired or reconstructed for
the use as before the time of damage.
[CC 1983 App. B Art. XII §3; Ord. No.
379.5, 5-18-1970]

All legal existing occupied mobile and/or manufactured homes
located in the City shall be permitted to remain in place so long
as occupied so as not to violate nuisance and safety ordinances. No
mobile or manufactured home may be replaced unless such home is located
in an "R-5" zoning district and then only if such replacement unit
conforms with the requirements of the "R-5" zoning district. Any existing
mobile and/or manufactured home located in any zoning district other
than an "R-5" zoning district shall be removed when unoccupied for
a period in excess of twelve (12) months.

In the event of destruction of an existing single family residence by accident or act of God, it shall be permitted to have a mobile and/or manufactured home placed on site where there is sufficient room to accommodate the mobile and/or manufactured home and still permit safe reconstruction of the single family dwelling. Such a mobile and/or manufactured home shall not be required to conform to the site, placement, width, setback or consistency with neighborhood requirements of Article VII of this Chapter, but shall be permitted only so long as good faith efforts are underway to complete reconstruction of the original dwelling, not to exceed twelve (12) months, at which time the mobile and/or manufactured home shall be removed.
