A. A nonconforming building shall not be reconstructed or structurally altered unless such alteration shall result in removing those conditions of the building which render it nonconforming.

B. Repairs and structural alterations may be made to a nonconforming building; provided, that the floor space of such building is not increased.

C. A nonconforming building or structure which is damaged or partially destroyed by fire, flood, wind, earthquake, or other calamity or act of God or the public enemy, to the extent of not more than one and one-half times its assessed value at that time, may be restored and the occupancy or use of such building, structure or part thereof which existed at the time of such partial destruction may be continued or resumed; provided, that such restoration is started within a period of one year and is diligently prosecuted to completion. In the event such damage or destruction exceeds one and one-half times the assessed value of such nonconforming building or structure, no repairs or reconstruction shall be made, except in the case of residences or accessory farm buildings, unless every portion of such building or structure is made to conform to all regulations for new buildings in the zone in which it is located.
