SECTION VIII
NON-CONFORMING USES
A. CONTINUATION OF NON-CONFORMING USE. Any lawful building or use of a building or land or part thereof existing at the time of the adoption of this ordinance or any amendment thereto or within one year prior thereto may be continued although such building or use does not conform to the provisions hereof, but no use of any building or land not in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance shall, after having been discontinued for a period of eighteen months or more, be resumed or re-established except in conformity with this ordinance.
B. ADDITIONS TO NON-CONFORMING BUILDING. Additions may be made to any building that does not conform with the provisions hereof, provided that such additions conform in all respects with all other provisions of this Ordinance and shall be made pursuant to the conditions of a Special Exception granted by the Board of Adjustment upon it determination, after all abutting owners have been given reasonable opportunity to be heard thereon, that such additions will cause no added injury of offense to the neighborhood.
C. LIMITATION ON RESTORATION OF NON-CONFORMING BUILDING AFTER SUBSTANTIAL DESTRUCTION. No building or other structure that has been damaged by fire or other causes to the extent of more than three-quarters of its value shall be repaired or rebuilt except in conformity with this ordinance unless so authorized by written permit to be issued as a special exception by the Board of Adjustment; provided that the Board of Adjustment shall not withhold permission to repair or rebuild in the old location and in a manner not repugnant to the spirit of this ordinance any non-conforming building or structure so destroyed or damaged, within a period of one year thereafter, to be put to the same use as, or a use no more injurious or detrimental to the neighborhood than, before.
