A legal nonconforming building (which shall also include structures) may continue only in the manner and to the extent that it existed at the time of such enactment, amendment, or annexation, subject to the following provisions:

(A) The routine repairs or maintenance of legal nonconforming buildings is permitted.

(B) Any legal nonconforming building which has been damaged by fire, windstorm, flood, or some similar abnormal and identifiable event, for which the cost of restoring the structure to its original condition is up to 50% of the assessed valuation, may be reconstructed and used as before; provided, that a building permit is secured, reconstruction is started within two years from the date of damage, and such reconstruction is diligently pursued to completion. During this period, the property shall be maintained in a manner that does not create a life safety or hazardous condition.

(C) Any legal nonconforming building which has been damaged by fire, windstorm, flood, or some similar abnormal and identifiable event to an extent of 51% or more of its most recent, pre-damage assessed valuation, as determined by a qualified appraiser, shall lose any legal nonconforming status and may not be restored, reconstructed, replaced or used except in conformity with the provisions of the zoning district it is located in and to this title.

(D) A legal nonconforming building which ceases to be used for a period of two consecutive years shall lose all nonconforming status and shall be retrofitted to comply with applicable provisions of this title.

(E) This title shall not prohibit the continued occupancy of a manufactured home which was legally located and occupied as a private residence within the City at the time of adoption of the ordinance codified in this title but is not located within the manufactured home zoning district or which may not be in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 18.50 SLCC. (Ord. 312 § 2(20.1), passed 4-11-2012. Code 2012 § 152.336.)
