(a) 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 buildings may be erected on any single platted lot that is of record on September 26, 1972, the original date of adoption of this provision. Such lot must be in separate ownership and not of continuous frontage with other lots in the same ownership. This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet the requirements for area, width, or depth, or any combination thereof, that are generally applicable in the district, provided that yard setbacks of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the district in which such lot is located.
(b) If two or more platted lots or combinations of platted lots with continuous frontage in single ownership are of record on September 26, 1972, at the time of original adoption of this provision, and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements for lot width, area, or depth or any combination thereof as established by this Land Development Code, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purposes of this Land Development Code, and no portion of the parcel shall be used or sold which does not meet lot width and area requirements established by this Land Development Code, nor shall any division of the parcel be made which leaves remaining any lot with width, area, or depth or any combination thereof below the requirements in this Land Development Code.
(c) In any district where non-residential buildings and uses are permitted, or permitted by special exception, said buildings and uses may be erected and conducted on a platted lot or lots that were of record on or before September 26, 1972, the original date of adoption of the town's zoning requirements now codified as Chapter 7A. This provision shall apply even though such lot or lots fail to meet the requirement for area, width, or depth, or any combination thereof, that are generally applicable to the district, provided that yard setbacks of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the district in which such lot is located.
