§ 118-207. Construction beginning prior to effective date of ordinance.

To avoid undue hardship, nothing in this article shall be deemed to require a change in the plans, construction or designated use of any building or accessory structure on which actual construction was lawfully begun prior to the effective date of adoption of this article and upon which actual building construction has been carried on diligently. Where excavation or demolition or removal of an existing building has been substantially begun preparatory to rebuilding, such excavation or demolition or removal shall be deemed to be actual construction, provided that work shall be carried on diligently.
