A non conforming building in any zone may be continued for the period prescribed in this section, provided no additions or enlargements are made thereto and no structural alterations are made therein, except as allowed by a conditional use permit.
Subject to the provisions of this code, a conditional use permit may be granted to allow the expansion of a building which does not conform to height, lot coverage setbacks or area requirements if the following standards are met:
1. That granting the expansion will not adversely impact the attainment of the General Plan.
2. That the expansion will improve the general appearance or safety of the area.
3. That by expanding the building, the character of the neighborhood is not adversely impacted.
4. That the expansion will improve the area by providing adequate parking.
5. That any expansion will be adequately screened or buffered, if needed, so as not to increase impacts to the adjoining properties.
If a non-conforming building is removed, every future use of the land on which the building was located shall conform to the provisions of this Code.
