(A) (1) In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted, a single-family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected on any single lot of record after the effective date of adoption or amendment of this chapter notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this chapter. Such lots must be in separate ownership and not of continuous frontage with other lots in the same ownership.
(2) This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet the requirements of area and/or width that are generally applicable in the district provided that yard dimensions and requirements other than these applying to area and/or width of the lot shall conform to the regulations of the district in which such lot is located. Variance of yard requirements shall be obtained only through action of the Board of Adjustment.
(B) If two or more lots or combinations of lots and portions of lots with continuous frontage in single ownership are of record at the time of passage or amendment of this chapter and all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements established for lot width and area, the land involved shall be considered an undivided parcel for the purposes of this subchapter, and no portion of said parcel shall be used or sold in a manner which diminishes compliance with lot width and area requirements established nor shall any division of any parcel be made which creates a lot with width or area below the requirements in this subchapter.
