17.05.030 Nonconforming structure.
A. Continuation. A nonconforming structure that was allowed when established, but is no longer permitted in the subject zone because it does not conform to the existing height, setback, coverage, area, or other requirements, may continue so long as it complies with all of the following requirements:
1. The structure is not enlarged, moved, or altered in a way that increases its nonconformity; however, the structure may be altered to decrease in nonconformity.
2. If a nonconforming structure is damaged by any means, the structure may only be reconstructed or replaced to conform to its pre-damage nonconforming state. Otherwise, the structure shall be reconstructed in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance.
3. If a nonconforming structure is moved, it must conform to the standards of the zone to which it is moved.
B. Maintenance and Repair. Ordinary maintenance and repair is permitted on any structure or portion of any nonconforming structure when:
1. The maintenance or repair conforms to the existing nonconforming structure.
2. The proposed maintenance or repair does not enlarge, move, or alter the structure in a way that increases its nonconformity.
3. The proposed maintenance or repair is not prohibited on the deed.
