   (b)   Uses. In the one-family (“A-2.5A”) district, no building or land shall be used and no building shall be hereafter erected, reconstructed, altered or enlarged, nor shall a certificate of occupancy be issued, except in accordance with the use tables in Chapter 4, Articles 6 and 8 and the supplemental standards of Chapter 5.

   (c)   Property development standards.
