(a) Any parcel of land, which as of September 14, 1955, is recorded in the office of the County Recorder, may be used for a building site for a dwelling of the character permitted in the district even though such parcel is not of the area or width required for each lot in such district, provided that all other regulations for such district as prescribed by this Zoning Code, Part Fourteen - the Building and Housing Code and the Regulations of the County Board of Health shall be complied with, and provided further that the front, side and rear yards on any such parcel shall have a width not less than the width required in such district. However, if two or more contiguous lots from thirty-five to thirty-nine feet wide, three or more contiguous lots from forty to forty-four feet wide, or four or more contiguous lots from forty-five to fifty feet wide are under single ownership as of September 14, 1955, or if adjacent property can be equitable acquired, the lots shall be enlarged to the standards of the district before developing.
(b) In the case of a single parcel not permitted as a building site within a district by reason of its size or area, where an applicant for a permit can establish certain conditions, the Planning and Zoning Commission may consider an additional exception to allow a permit upon its satisfaction that the applicant has established that he has made a diligent effort to secure sufficient adjacent property equitably, but without success in a good faith effort to comply with City requirements.
