1173.07 REDUCTION OF AREA OR SPACE .

   No lot, yard, parking area, or other space shall be reduced in area or dimension if such reduction has the effect of making the lot, yard, parking area, or other space less than the minimum required by this Ordinance. Furthermore, any lot, yard, parking area or other space which is already less than the required minimum, shall not be reduced further. However, nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to limit the power of the Board of Zoning Appeals in the granting of variances under this Ordinance.
