(a) Single Lots. In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, a single-family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected on any single lot of record at the effective date of adoption or amendment of the Zoning Ordinance. 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 or width, or both, that are generally applicable in the district, provided that yard dimensions and other requirements not involving area or width, or both, of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the district in which such lot is located. Variance of area width and yard requirements shall be obtained only through action of the Board of Zoning Appeals.
(b) Two or More Lots. If two 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 the Zoning Ordinance, and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements for lot width and area as established by the Zoning Ordinance, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purposes of the Zoning Ordinance and no portion of such parcel shall be used or sold which does not meet lot width and area requirements established by the Zoning Ordinance, nor shall any division of the parcel be made which leaves remaining any lot with width or area below the requirements stated in the Zoning Ordinance.
