1. Lots Included in Approved Plans. Any lot shown on an approved and publicly recorded subdivision plan on the effective date of this Chapter which does not meet the minimum area and bulk requirements of the zoning district in which it is located may be used for any use permitted in that district provided that all yard, height, impervious coverage and common open space requirements shall be met. The Zoning Hearing Board may grant a variance from the yard and impervious coverage requirements as long as the provisions under Part 3 are satisfied.
2. Lots Held in Single and Separate Ownership. Any lot held in single and separate ownership at the effective date of this Chapter which does not meet the minimum area and building requirements of the zoning district in which it is located may be used for any use permitted in that district provided that all yard, height, impervious coverage and common open space requirements are met. If the plans for the proposed use shall be approved by the Zoning Hearing Board, after review of such plans to assure reasonable compliance with the spirit of the zoning regulations for the district, and the water supply and sewage disposal facilities are certified as adequate by the Township Engineer, a variance from the yard and impervious coverage requirements may be granted.

In the event an applicant owns adjacent property sufficient to enable him to comply with the provisions of this Chapter, such property or portions thereof shall be combined prior to the erection or alteration of a building or structure. Such combination shall correct the nonconforming situation to the maximum extent possible and shall not create a nonconforming lot out of the adjacent property.
