In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted, notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this Zoning Code, a single-family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected on any single lot of record at or before the effective date of adoption or amendment of this Zoning Code. This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet the requirements for area, width or both that are generally applicable in the district; provided that yard dimensions, setbacks and other requirements not involving area, width or both of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the district in which such lot is located, unless a yard requirement variance is obtained through the Board of Zoning Appeals. However, if two (2) 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 this Zoning Code and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements established for lot width and area, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purposes of this Zoning Code, and no portion of said parcel shall be used or divided in a manner which diminishes compliance with lot width and area requirements established by this Zoning Code.
