(a)

The lawful nonconforming structure existing at the time of the adoption or amendment of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived may be continued although its size or location does not conform with the lot width, lot area, yard, height, parking and loading, and access provisions of this chapter; however, it shall not be extended, enlarged, moved, or structurally altered in excess of 50 percent of the structural members of the existing structure with additions not exceeding 50 percent of existing foundation footprint whether vertical or horizontal and the addition shall meet all setbacks or go no closer to any side, rear or road setback. For an existing nonconforming structure located within any road right-of-way or existing over a lot line, no additions or alteration of structural members, not including ordinary maintenance, shall be permitted. Any alteration or addition to any nonconforming structure shall also meet all the requirements of article X of this chapter, county floodplain regulations and Wis. Stats. § 87.30. The repair, maintenance, renovation, rebuilding or remodeling of a nonconforming structure or any part of a nonconforming structure is not prohibited and does not require a variance if done so in accordance with this article.

(b)

For this section, a structural member includes the number of existing walls, foundation walls, floor, and roof. Any alteration to a structural member qualifies for inclusion in the calculation of the 50 percent provisions.
