In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted, a single-family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected on a single lot of record at the effective date of adoption or amendment of the ordinance codified herein. This provision shall apply even though the lot fails to meet the requirements for area or width, or both, that are generally applicable within the district, provided that yard dimensions and requirements other than those applying to area or width, or both, of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the district in which such lot is located. Variances of requirements of this chapter other than lot area or lot width shall be obtained only through action of the Planning Commission as provided in § 155.403. No portion of any lot shall be used or sold in a manner which diminishes compliance with lot width and area requirements established by this chapter.
