1149.05 NON-CONFORMING LOTS.
    (a)   Where any single non-conforming lot in a residential district which existed prior to adoption of this Code is in separate ownership and not of continuous frontage with other lots in the same ownership:
      (1)   A single-family dwelling and other accessory structures permitted under Chapter 1121 may be constructed on such lot.
      (2)   This subsection (a) shall apply even though such lot fails to meet the requirements for area and/or frontage that are generally applicable to the district; requirements of Chapter 1121, other than those applying to area and/or frontage, shall apply to such lot.
      (3)   Variances to requirements other than lot area or frontage shall be obtained pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 1173.04.
   (b)   Where two (2) more lots or any combination of lots and portions of lots with continuous frontage are in single ownership, and such lots do not meet the area or frontage requirements of the district in which they are located, such lots shall be considered a single zoning lot for purposes of this Code.
      (1)   No portion of such zoning lot shall be used or sold in a manner, which diminishes compliance with the area or width requirements for the district in which the zoning lot is located.
      (2)   Re-subdivision of such zoning lot to create a lot, which does not meet the area or frontage requirements of this Code, is prohibited.
