When a nonconforming lot can be used in conformity with all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code, except that the area of the lot is nonconforming, then the lot may be used as if its area were conforming. When conforming use of a nonconforming lot cannot reasonably be established due to the setback requirements of the district in which it is located, the Planning Commission may grant variances to setback requirements as necessary to establish a permitted use of the district, provided that there is no contiguous land in common ownership with the subject lot which could be used to reduce or eliminate the nonconformity and the variance meets all other variance standards of this Zoning Code.
