SUMMARY: The expansion of any existing nonconforming structure within the Shoreland Zone is limited to 30% based on the footprint that existed as of March 19, 1974, and the structure may not be expanded any closer to the normal or mean high water line. The maximum height of the proposed structure will not exceed the height limits shown in Table A in section 5. Non-vegetated surfaces shall not exceed a total of twenty (20) percent of the portion of the lot within the Shoreland Zone. The reconstruction or replacement of existing nonconforming structures may be allowable by permit if the reconstruction or replacement meets certain criteria. A nonconforming use may not be changed to another nonconforming use unless it is determined that the new use will not result in an increased adverse impact on the lands and waterways of the corridor.
