The regulations set by this Zoning Ordinance within each district shall be minimum regulations and shall apply uniformly to each class or kind of structure or land, except as otherwise provided.
(a) No building, structure or land shall hereafter be used or occupied, and no building or structure, or part thereof, shall hereinafter be erected, constructed, reconstructed, moved or structurally altered unless in conformity with all of the regulations specified in this Zoning Ordinance for the district in which it is located.
(b) No building or other structure shall hereafter be erected or altered: exceeding the height; on a lot having less area; on a lot having less area per dwelling unit; having narrower or smaller front yards, side yards or rear yards, than required or in any other manner contrary to the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance.
(c) Land used to meet the yard, off-street parking and loading, density or other requirements of this Zoning Ordinance for a building shall not be used to meet the yard, off-street parking and loading, density or other requirements of any other building.
(d) No yard or lot shall be so reduced in dimension or area, by conveyance of a portion thereof, as to make any open space of such lot less than the minimum requirements prescribed in this Zoning Ordinance, provided that such requirements shall not be construed to prevent the sale of an individual unit of a multiple dwelling.
(e) When required off-street parking facilities are provided on a lot other than the lot upon which the building or use requiring such facilities is located, the owner shall execute, on behalf of himself, his successors and assigns in the ownership of such lot, a written instrument in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, covenanting that, in consideration of the issuance of a building permit for the principal use, the lot on which the off-street parking facilities are located shall be used and maintained for off-street parking purposes accessory to such principal use so long as the lot and the parking facilities thereon are necessary to meet the off-street parking requirements of the principal use.
(f) No yard or lot existing at the time of passage of this section (February 27, 1973) shall be reduced in dimension or area below the minimum requirements set forth in this Zoning Ordinance.
