(A) Any lot or parcel of land in any district that was under separate ownership and of record on the date of adoption of these regulations, or amendment thereof, where no adjoining undeveloped land fronting on the same street was under the same ownership on the date, may be used as a building site even though such lot or parcel fails to meet the minimum requirements for lot area, lot width, or both that are generally applicable to lots in the district.

(2) Any exterior side yard below 20% of the width of the lot or eight feet, whichever is greater; or
