  • A. 
    Structures. A lawful nonconforming structure may continue to exist so long as it remains otherwise lawful, provided that no reconstruction, enlargement or alteration of the structure shall occur that will increase its nonconformity, except as provided herein.
    B. 
    Uses Of Land. A lawful nonconforming use of land may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful and provided that no enlargement, increase or extension of the lawful nonconforming use of land occurs so that a greater area of land is occupied than that which was occupied on the effective date of this UDO or any amendment thereto that makes the use nonconforming, and that no additional structures or additions to structures existing on the effective date of this UDO shall be constructed on the same lot. Further, no such lawful nonconforming use of land shall be moved or relocated in whole or in part to any other portion of the lot on which it is located, other than that portion occupied at the time of effective date of this UDO. If any lawful nonconforming use of land is not used as such for any reason for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days, any subsequent use of that land shall conform to the terms of this UDO.
