A lot of record which does not comply with lot area, lot width, or street frontage requirements of the district in which it is located on the effective date of this code or any amendment thereto which made it nonconforming, may be used as follows:
(a) If occupied by a building, such building may be maintained, repaired or altered. However, the building may not be enlarged in floor area unless the depth of front yard, total width of side yards, and the rear yard regulations are complied with.
(b) If vacant, the lot may be used provided that:
(1) No adjoining vacant lot is owned by the same owner on the effective date of this code;
(2) No adjoining vacant lot can be reasonably acquired to create a conforming lot; and
(3) All other regulations of this code, except the lot area and lot width regulations, shall be complied with.
(c) Variance of yard requirements, buffering, or screening shall be obtained only through action of the BZA in accordance with Section 1103.07.
(d) If two (2) or more lots or combinations of lots and portions of lots with continuous frontage in single ownership are of record at the time of passage or amendment of this code and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements established for lot width, lot area, or street frontage, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided zoning lot for the purposes of this code, and no portion of such zoning lot shall be used or sold in a manner which diminishes compliance with lot width, street frontage, and lot area requirements established by this code, nor shall any division of any parcel be made which creates a lot with width or area below the requirements stated in this code.
