§ 126-56. Nonconforming structures.  


Latest version.
  • Where a lawful structure exists at the time of passage or amendment of these regulations by reason of restrictions on area, lot coverage, height or other reasons, such structure may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions:

    (1)

    No such structure may be enlarged, altered or changed in a way which increases its nonconformity. An addition or improvement to a nonconforming structure may be made, providing the addition meets the requirements of these land development regulations.

    (2)

    Should such structure be damaged by any means to an extent of more than 50 percent of the current market value, it shall not be reconstructed or repaired except in conformity with the provisions of these land development regulations.

    (3)

    Should such structure be moved for any reason or distance whatever, it shall conform to the regulations for the district in which it is located after it is moved.

    (4)

    For any structure which is nonconforming as to off-street parking, if remodeling or alteration increases requirements for off-street parking, additional off-street parking shall be provided sufficient to meet the additional requirements created by the remodeling or alteration.
