Any nonconforming building or structure may be repaired or restored in the event of partial destruction thereof. What constitutes "partial destruction" shall depend upon all the facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the estimated cost of repair or restoration, whether it would be necessary to restore the building or structure substantially as though a new building or structure were being constructed, whether the partially destroyed building is habitable or fit for occupancy, among others.

Complete restoration must be achieved within one (1) year of the commencement of repairs or restoration. In the event that the restoration is not completed within such year, the nonconforming use shall not be permitted to be restored.

In the event a dispute arises as to whether a building or structure has been totally destroyed, the controversy shall be heard by the Board of Adjustment after due notice has been given to all parties of interest in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter.
