   (A)   Use of premises and all buildings in the city shall be in accordance with the minimum standards established by this chapter.

   (B)   Every building shall be on a lot. Except as provided in § 152.031(A)(5), there cannot be more than one principal building on one lot.

   (C)   Yards, parking spaces unless in accordance with § 152.152(B), or lot area required for one building cannot be used for another building; nor can the size of a lot be reduced below the requirements of this chapter, except where a variance has been authorized as outlined in § 152.019.

   (D)   Prior to the issuance of a building permit allowing construction on separate but adjacent parcels, the owner or owners of separate but adjacent parcels shall file for record in the office of the County Recorder of Deeds, duly executed and acknowledged, which deed contains the legal description of all parcels to be included in the zoning lot, and contains a statement by the owner or owners that the property therein described shall not be conveyed separately without the written consent of the Director of Community Development. This consent shall be given by the Director if, after inspection, it appears that no violations of the DO or other ordinances of the city would be created by the separate conveyance of one of, or part of, the lots of record contained in the zoning lot. A copy of the deed containing the legal description shall be filed with the Community Development Department.
