A. Any legal structure existing at the effective date of adoption or amendment of the ordinances codified in this title that could not be built under the existing terms of this title by reason of restrictions on area, lot coverage, height, yards, deficiency of required parking, or other characteristics of the structure or its location on the lot may be continued so long as it remains otherwise legal.

B. Ordinary repairs, including the repair or replacement of walls, doors, windows, roof, fixtures, wiring, and plumbing, may be made to nonconforming structures.

C. Nonconforming residential structures may be enlarged or expanded; provided, that there are no other residential structures located on the property, no portion of the structure extends over any lot line, and all other building, fire and zoning requirements are met. Any encroachment into required setbacks exceeding the original building footprint shall be permitted only by the grant of a variance under Chapter 17.195 KIBC.

D. Should a nonconforming structure be destroyed, it shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with the regulations of this title. Destruction does not include deterioration through ordinary neglect. [Ord. FY2016-04 §2, 2015; Ord. 97-09 §2, 1997. Formerly §17.36.040].
