(B) However, in all residential zoning districts where two or more parcels of land (which may contain a lot or lots of record) are contiguous and one or more of such parcels lack adequate area or width to qualify for a permitted use under the requirements of the zoning district in which such parcels are located, such parcels shall be maintained and used as one zoning lot for such use in the event such parcels have been held in contiguous ownership at any time after July 28, 1977 (the effective date of Appendix A – Zoning, of the Code of Ordinances of the Village), or the date of adoption of any ordinance prescribing lot area or dimension requirements with which such parcel does not comply, whichever is later.
(1) In the R-1, R-2, and R-2/O zoning districts, any single lot or parcel of land not held in contiguous ownership that does not meet the requirements for minimum lot width and/or minimum lot area may be utilized for a permitted single-family dwelling use, subject to the requirements of §§ 155.1004(C), 155.1104(C), and 155.1204(C) of this Chapter.
