The minimum lot area available for single-family residential use on and after the effective date of the initiative known as Measure H and submitted to the voters at the election of November 4, 1986 shall be 7,200 square feet. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this code, no tentative map, vesting tentative map, parcel map, development plan, Specific Plan, Specific Plan amendment, resubmitted tentative or parcel map or proposed planned unit development which creates or provides for the creation of single-family residential lots smaller than 7,200 square feet in area shall be approved, adopted or accepted for review on or after the effective date of the Measure H. This section shall not affect the privilege or right of any person to proceed with construction on lots approved pursuant to the subdivision process or proposed under any adopted Specific Plan prior to the effective date of the Measure H or on any legally created residential lot in existence prior to the date. An adopted Specific Plan that existed prior to the effective date of Measure H may be amended without affecting the ability to proceed with construction on lots proposed under the original adopted Specific Plan, provided that no additional new lots smaller than 7,200 square feet in area are authorized by the amended Specific Plan. An approved tentative map may be revised and resubmitted, provided that the resubmitted map creates no additional new lots smaller than 7,200 square feet in area. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a revised tentative map may create additional new lots smaller than 7,200 square feet if such additional lots were authorized under a Specific Plan adopted prior to the effective date of Measure H. Nothing in this section shall be construed as reducing the currently established minimum lot areas in any of the city’s zoning districts.
