A. All yards and other open spaces allocated to a building (or group of buildings comprising 1 principal use) shall be located on the same lot as such building. The maintenance of yards and other open space and minimum lot area legally required for a building shall be a continuing obligation of the owner of such building or of the property on which it is located, as long as the building is in existence. Furthermore, no legally required yards, other open space or minimum lot area allocated to any building shall, by virtue of change of ownership or for any other reason, be used to satisfy yard, other open space or minimum lot area requirements for any other building.
B. No improved lot shall hereafter be divided into two (2) or more lots and no portion of an improved lot shall be sold unless all improved lots resulting from each such division or sale shall conform with all the applicable bulk regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located.
C. No yards, now or hereafter provided, for a building existing on the effective date hereof shall subsequently be reduced below, or further reduced if already less than, the minimum yard requirements of this title for equivalent new construction.
D. For lots platted before the effective date hereof, on one side of a street where setbacks are maintained on lots occupying more than fifty percent (50%) of such street frontage, between intersecting streets or a distance of one thousand eight hundred feet (1,800'), whichever is less, the setback shall be no less than the average of the existing setbacks.
