SECTION 405.110: NON-CONFORMING USES
A.
The lawful use of a building existing at the time of the effective date
of this Chapter may be continued although such use does not conform to 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 of a more restricted classification.
Whenever a non-conforming use has been changed to a more restricted use
or to a conforming use, such use shall not be thereafter changed to a less
restricted use.
B.
Whenever the use of a building becomes non-conforming through a change in
this Chapter or district boundaries, such use may be continued and, if no
structural alterations are made, it may be changed to another non-conforming use
of the same or of a more restricted classification.
C.
No existing building or premises devoted to a use not permitted by this
Chapter in the district in which such building or premises is located, except
when required to do so by law or order, shall be enlarged, extended, converted,
reconstructed or structurally altered, unless such use is changed to a use
permitted in the district in which such building or premises is located.
D. When a building or structure the use of which does not conform to the
provisions of this Chapter, is damaged by fire, explosion, act of God, or the
public enemy, to the extent of more than sixty-five percent (65%)
of its value, it shall not be restored except in conformity with the regulations
of the district in which the building or structure is situated. (CC 1990 §18.080)
