The lawful use of land or structures existing at the date of adoption of this chapter, as amended, may be continued although such use or structure is nonconforming to the provisions specified in this chapter, as amended, for the zoning district in which such use or structure is located except as provided by law.

Any nonconforming use or structure which has been changed to a conforming use or structure shall not be changed back again into a nonconforming use or structure.

Any nonconforming use, structure or lot may change ownership and continue to function as the same nonconforming use, structure or lot provided all other provisions of this chapter and other applicable laws are met.

Repairs and maintenance work required to keep a structure in sound condition may be made to a nonconforming structure or a structure containing a nonconforming use. Any nonconforming use may be restored or repaired in the event of partial destruction thereof, provided such restoration or repair neither increases the nonconformity nor creates a new violation. An existing nonconforming structure may be physically expanded by no more than 50% of the building area devoted to such use as of December 6, 1976, provided building setback and yard requirements and parking requirements are met and that the plan for expansion receives site plan approval by the Planning Board.

Any campground use excepting those in the Pinelands Area, existing as a conforming use immediately prior to the date of adoption of this chapter and which has been made a nonconforming use by the provisions of this chapter may be physically expanded as a right by no more than 50% of the land area currently devoted to such use provided that the use is not changed; that the tract area is not enlarged via the purchase of additional lands; that the site plan for such expansion receives approval by the Planning Board in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 23, Site Plan Review and that all applicable provisions of this chapter and all other Township ordinances are met.

Any lot upon which a nonconforming use or structure is located shall not be reduced in size, nor shall any lot already nonconforming be made more nonconforming in any manner.

Any lots situated in the "AR," "C," "RR," "R," "R2," "TV," "TR," "PV," "RD," "F3," "F10," or "F25" Districts which:

Notwithstanding the use restrictions contained in § 20-4, any lawful use existing in the Pinelands Area on January 14, 1981, other than intensive recreation facilities and those uses which are expressly limited in Subsection 20-5.14 may be expanded provided that:

Structural alterations to permitted existing nonconforming uses and structures solely to elevate the structure to conform to the Flood Hazard Ordinance contained in Chapter 18 including but not limited to changes to height, stairs, steps, ADA-compliant ramps and related elements providing access to the first elevated floor shall not be considered an expansion of a nonconforming use or structure, and shall therefore be permitted without variance relief under N.J.S.A. 55d-70 providing the following:

Any lot in a residential zoning district, except for lots situated in the "PV," "RD," "F3," "F10" and "F25," not meeting the zoning requirements for a single-family residential unit may have a construction permit issued for an affordable housing single-family home provided that all of the following conditions are met:
