B.

Compliance with laws. The work shall be allowed in order to comply with any law enacted subsequent to the adoption of this Development Code;

Increase in area. New additions or alterations shall not increase existing nonconformities and shall be in compliance with the existing Development Code requirements; or

Additional uses. Additional uses may be allowed on the site of a nonconforming use only in the case of a multi-tenant structure or site; where the nonconforming use is first discontinued and any replacement use complies with the applicable current Development Code provisions in effect for the subject zoning district; or the use is a single-family residence and the addition or expansion of use or structure is consistent with the uses and structures of a single-family residence and traditional accessory structures and uses such as room additions, sheds, patio structures, and pools.
