The purpose of these provisions is to guide residential development on substandard lots, ensuring that the developments are compatible with the character and the scale of established housing.
A. Applicability And General Provisions: The following standards and procedures apply to residential development of substandard lots as defined in section 9-1-3 of this title, and apply to:

2. Substandard lots in the residential multi-family zone having a lot area of less than five thousand (5,000) square feet.
3. Development of single substandard corner lots with a width of less than thirty feet (30') shall not be allowed. Reconfiguration of two (2) contiguous substandard lots where one is a corner lot may be accomplished as provided for in title 10, chapter 2 of this code so long as their lot area is not reduced.
4. These standards do not apply to lots that are part of a planned unit development and they do not take precedence over any note recorded on a subdivision plat.
5. These standards do not apply to remodels of or expansions to legally established dwellings previously constructed on such lots, so long as other area requirements of the district are met. (Ord. 1263, 12-29-2011)
