No such use shall be enlarged or increased, nor extended to occupy a greater area of land, dimensions or volume than was occupied at the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter without the issuance of a conditional use permit.

No such use shall be changed in any manner which will increase its nonconformity to the requirements of the zoning district in which it is located.

If a nonconforming use is discontinued or inactive for a period of 12 months, it shall be deemed a discontinued nonconforming use. A discontinued nonconforming use cannot be re-established. Further use of property must conform to the provisions of this title. An application for a building permit within the 12-month period shall be conclusive evidence of resumption of activity or rebuilding within the meaning of this chapter; provided, however, if the building permit expires before rebuilding is completed, no extension of the permit shall be granted.

On any lot in any zoning district where livestock is prohibited, and where that use is existing on May 10, 1999, then the raising and keeping of livestock is permitted until January 1, 2010, or ownership of said lot changes to a different party, whichever occurs first; provided, that all the conditions set forth in CMC Title 6 are met. No such permission is extended to the raising or keeping of pigs and hogs.

No use of land in the city of Cashmere which would be included in the definition of "junk yard" as defined in Chapter 17.08 CMC shall be allowed following May 10, 1999, and this nonconforming use section shall not authorize any such use.

No such structure shall be enlarged or altered in a way which increases its nonconformity without the issuance of a conditional use permit.

Nothing in this title shall require any change in plans, construction, alteration or designated use of a structure for which a legal valid building permit existed prior to May 10, 1999, and continues to exist on May 10, 1999, to this title, except that if the structure will be nonconforming it shall be built to conforming standards if not complete within two years of May 10, 1999.

Any nonconforming structure which has been destroyed, damaged or has incurred a loss of not more than 80 percent of its value, which destruction, damage or loss is not the result of the intentional act of the property owner, may be rebuilt within the existing footprint of the damaged or destroyed building, provided no more than 12 months will be allowed in which to resume activity or rebuild, or the structure will be deemed nonconforming and any rebuilding must conform to the provisions of this title. Any rebuilding must conform to all other provisions of this title and other applicable city ordinances and state laws, including, but not limited to, the provisions of CMC Title 15 as the same exists now or may hereafter be amended, concerning the building code.

Any nonconforming structure which has been destroyed, damaged or has incurred a loss more than 80 percent of its value may not be rebuilt or repaired unless it conforms to all provisions of this title and all other applicable city ordinances and state laws.

For the purpose of this chapter, remodeling, alterations, or repairs to a nonconforming structure means work that does not exceed 80 percent of the latest county assessed or appraised value by a state-certified/licensed real estate appraiser of the building or structure before the improvements are started.
