Harvey Cedars City Zoning Code
§ 13-5.7
Nonconforming Structures.
[Ord. No. 2001-02]
Where a lawful structure exists on July 16, 1966 or the date of amendment of this chapter that could not be built under the terms of this chapter by reason of restrictions on area, lot coverage, height, yards, or other characteristics of the structure or its location on the lot, such structure may be continued so long as it remains otherwise lawful, subject to the following provisions:
a.
No such structure may be enlarged or altered in a way which increases its nonconformity;
b.
Should the structure be destroyed by an act of God, or a natural disaster, it may be rebuilt to the extent it existed prior to its destruction, otherwise, it shall not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of this chapter; subject, however, to the further provision that any such structure must be so reconstructed within one year from the date of its destruction. If a nonconforming structure is demolished purposely then any replacement structure shall conform to all current zoning ordinances.
c.
Should the structure be moved for any reason for any distance whatsoever, it shall thereafter conform to the regulations for the district in which it is located after it is moved.
