     § 706.  Effect of condemnation use on after value.
        (a)  General rule.--In determining the fair market value of
     the remaining property after a partial taking, consideration
     shall be given to the use to which the property condemned is to
     be put and the damages or benefits specially affecting the
     remaining property due to its proximity to the improvement for
     which the property was taken.
        (b)  Future damages and general benefits.--Future damages and
     general benefits which will affect the entire community beyond
     the properties directly abutting the property taken shall not be
     considered in arriving at the after value.
        (c)  Special benefits.--Special benefits to the remaining
     property shall in no event exceed the total damages, except in
     cases where the condemnor is authorized under existing law to
     make special assessments for benefits.
        (d)  Partial taking.--A partial taking shall not extinguish a
     nonconforming use unless all or a substantial portion of the
     improvements on the property are within the area of the property
     taken.
