A. In order to reconstruct a previously conforming nonresidential structure in accordance with CVMC 19.64.160, building permits must be applied for within six months of the event causing such destruction, and the construction must reach substantial completion within two years of the event. Said reconstruction shall meet all applicable building code requirements in place at the time of reconstruction and shall not be built beyond the existing building footprint.

B. Reconstruction that does not satisfy the conditions in subsection (A) of this section shall be deemed nonconforming, the permits issued shall be void, and such construction, if initiated, shall either be abated or brought into compliance with all existing regulations as of the date a new construction permit is issued. (Ord. 3153 § 2 (Exh. A), 2010).
