§ 153.104 SUBSTANDARD LOTS OF RECORD.

   (A)   (1)   In any R District, a single-family dwelling may be erected on a substandard lot which is of record at the time of the adoption of this chapter and under separate ownership from an abutting vacant lot provided that the side yards meet that allowed by § 153.440 or that prescribed in Table 1, whichever is less, for corner lots, and Table 2 for interior lots, and further that no side yard shall be less than three feet, nor any street side yard be less than ten feet, that the lot area is not less than 50% of the minimum specified for the district and all other requirements for the district are complied with.

      (2)   In any R District where a lot of record at the time of adoption of this chapter is under separate ownership from the lot abutting the rear lot line and is of sufficient depth to permit a buildable depth of 26 feet, the required rear yard may be reduced by not more than six feet to provide such 26 foot buildable depth for a single-family dwelling; provided, however, that the lot area is not less than 50% of the minimum specified for the district and all other requirements for the district are complied with.
