(A) In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted, notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this chapter, a single-family dwelling and customary accessory structures may be erected on any single lot of record as of the effective date of the adoption of this chapter. The lot must be in separate ownership and not of contiguous frontage with other lots in the same ownership. This provision shall apply even though the lot fails to meet the requirements for area or width or both that are generally applicable to the district. Yard dimensions, including yard requirements not involving area or width of the lot, shall conform to the regulations for the district in which the lot is located. Variance of any requirements other than area or width stated in the appropriate district regulations shall be obtained through the Board of Zoning Appeals.
(B) If two or more lots, or combination of lots and portions of lots, with continuous frontage in single ownership are of record at the time of passage of this chapter, and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements for lot area and width as established by this chapter, the land involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purpose of this chapter; and no portion of the parcel shall be used or sold which does not meet lot width and area requirements established by this chapter, nor shall any division of the parcel be made which leaves remaining any lot with width or area below the requirements stated in this chapter.
