    3. 
    Any lawful building or structure located on October 21, 2010, that does not conform to the provisions hereof, may be continued. If use of a non-conforming building or structure having no foundation has been discontinued for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months, such discontinuance shall constitute an abandonment. If use of a non-conforming building or structure having a foundation is discontinued, such discontinuance shall not constitute an abandonment.

    4. 
    Subject to the approval of the City Council, an addition to, or an extension of, a non-conforming building or structure having a foundation is permitted, provided that the building line of such addition or extension to the non-conforming building or structure is not less than the existing building line from the front property line of the existing non-conforming building or structure. If the building line of such addition or extension of a non-conforming building or structure will be less than five (5) feet on any of the side property lines or rear property line, then the owner of the property must, in addition, obtain the written consent of the owner of any property located adjacent to such side property line or rear property line, prior to seeking approval of the City Council.
