(2) Industrial uses such as those primarily permitted within industrial districts: forty (40) years; c. Any structure for which a building permit has been legally issued, and on which substantial construction has been performed in reliance thereon on the site before an amendment to the regulation or ordinance making the use or structure non-conforming, may be continued in accordance with the plans and specifications upon which the permit was issued, subject to the limitations of this Section. d. A property containing a legally established structure that does not conform with applicable development standards for front yards, side yards, rear yards, height, floor area of structures, or open space for the district in which the property is located shall be deemed to be a non-conforming structure and may be used and maintained as provided herein. e. A legally established sign as provided in Chapter 20.14 of this Title. f. Routine maintenance and repairs may be performed on a non-conforming use, structure, or sign. 5. Alterations and Enlargements of Non-Conforming Uses and Structures a. A non-conforming use shall not be moved, altered, or enlarged unless required by law, or unless the moving, alteration, or enlargement will result in the elimination of the non-conformity. b. A non-conforming use shall not be enlar ged or extended in such a way as to occupy any part of the structure or site or another structure or site that it did not occupy at the time it became a non-conforming use, or in such a way as to displace any conforming use occupying a structure or site. c. A non-conforming structure shall not be altered or reconstructed so as to increase the discrepancy between existing conditions and the standards for front yard, side yard, rear yard, height of structures, distances between structures, or usable open space prescribed in the regulations for the zone district in which the structure is located. 6. Restoration of a Damaged Structure a. Whenever a non-conforming structure is destroyed to the extent of fifty (50) percent or less by fire, calamity, or act of God, the structure may be restored and the non-conforming use may be resumed, provided that restoration is started within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days and diligently pursued to completion. When the destruction exceeds fifty (50) percent, or the structure is voluntarily razed or is required by law to be razed, the structure shall not be restored except in full conformity with the regulations for the zone district in which it is located, and the non-conforming use shall not be resumed.
