The requirements of this chapter as to minimum lot area or lot width shall not be construed to prevent the use for a single-family dwelling on any legally approved lot or parcel of land. Combination of several lots under common ownership can be considered a buildable lot, but separation of lots originally under common ownership would not constitute a buildable lot. Such lot or parcel of land must be located in a zone which permits single-family dwellings, has access to a dedicated street, and shall be a legally divided lot held in separate ownership at the time such requirements became effective for such lot or parcel of land. The city staff shall make a determination as to the legality of such lots based on documentation submitted by the lot owner. Appeal of such determinations, or requests to vary the required yards for such lots, shall be made to the Appeal Authority.
