(A) In any district, a permitted structure and customary accessory buildings may be erected on any single lot of record after the effective date of adoption of or amendment to this chapter, notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this chapter. This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet the requirements for area or width, or both. All other requirements for development of the lot such as yard requirements and maximum lot coverage shall conform to the regulations for the district in which such lot is located. Variances from requirements other than non-conforming lot area or lot width shall be obtained only through action of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
(B) If two or more lots or combinations of lots and portions of lots with or without continuous frontage are of record in single ownership at the time of passage or amendment of this chapter contain a structure or structures and if all or part of the lots do not meet the minimum requirements established for lot width and area, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purposes of this chapter and no portion of such parcel shall be used, sold or divided in a manner which diminishes compliance with lot width and area requirements stated in this chapter or Chapter 151, whichever is the most restrictive.
(C) Prior to development or conditioned upon issuance of a zoning certificate for one or more vacant, undeveloped, non-conforming lots where there is a contiguous lot or lots in same ownership, said lot, lots or portions thereof necessary to meet the minimum lot width and/or area requirements of this chapter or Chapter 151, whichever is more restrictive, shall be required either to be re-platted and a new metes and bounds description recorded with the County Recorder or a new deed shall be recorded with the County Auditor for said parcels containing language describing them to be and remain continuous and contiguous.
(D) Prior to development or conditioned upon issuance of a zoning certificate for two or more lots, conforming or non-conforming as to minimum lot width and/or area requirements of this chapter or Chapter 151, whichever is more restrictive, where such development is proposed upon, over or above an existing property line and where such property is in same ownership, said lots shall be required either to be re-platted and a new metes and bounds description recorded with the County Recorder or a new deed shall be recorded with the County Auditor for said parcels containing language describing them to be and remain continuous and contiguous.
