A.
A nonconforming use may be continued subsequent to adoption of this
chapter, but the structure shall not be enlarged or altered in a way
which increases its nonconformity and the use shall not be enlarged
or increased to occupy a greater land area.
B.
A structure or sign which is destroyed by an act of God, vandalism
or accident may be restored, but a nonconforming structure may not
be demolished and replaced by a like nonconforming structure.
A nonconforming use may be extended throughout any parts of
a building which were manifestly arranged or designed for such use
at the time of adoption of this chapter. A nonconforming use may not
be changed to another nonconforming use.
Nothing in this chapter shall be deemed to prevent the strengthening
or restoring to a safe condition of any structure declared unsafe
by a qualified public official.[1]
A nonconforming structure or use may not be altered, rebuilt
or resumed except in conformity with the regulations for the district
in which it is located if:
Whenever an area is transferred from a district of one classification
to a district of a different classification, the above regulations
shall apply to nonconforming uses created by such transfer.
A nonconforming lot of record may be developed for any allowable
use in the district it is located as long as the setback requirements
are met.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this
chapter, preexisting nonconforming single-family residential structures
within the RW B District may remain and may be enlarged and/or altered
as long as such enlargement or alteration can be accomplished within
the established setbacks for the district.
