In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted, notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this chapter, a single-family dwelling and customary accessory building may be erected on any single lot of record at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this chapter. This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet the requirements for area, width, or depth that are generally applicable in the zoning district, provided that other requirements not involving lot dimensions or area of lot shall conform to the regulations for the district in which such lot is located. Variance of yard dimensions and other requirements shall be obtained only through action of the City Planning Commission and City Council. Existing platted lots and lot splits prior to the effective date of this chapter do not need a variance for compliance with dimensional tabulations.
