(A) Vacant lots. Legal, nonconforming, vacant lots of record may be developed for single-family detached dwellings upon approval of an administrative permit, provided that:
(1) Legally established. The lot in question was legally established in accordance with city code requirements existing at the time of its creation and is a separate, distinct tax parcel;
(2) Proper zoning. The lot is properly zoned for single-family residential land uses;
(3) Minimum lot size. A lot of record as of the effective date of this chapter, having direct access to municipal sewer and water shall be considered buildable provided measurements for lot area and/or width meet minimum requirements or are within 70% of the requirement of the district;
(4) Frontage. The lot in question has frontage on and will directly access an improved public street; and
(5) Setback and yard requirements. The setback and yard requirements of the base zoning district can be achieved while simultaneously resulting in development which complies with the character and general design of the immediate area and the objectives of the city's Comprehensive Plan and this chapter.
(B) Developed lots. An existing conforming use on a lot of substandard size and/or width may be expanded or enlarged if the expansion or enlargement meets all other provisions of this chapter.
