(A) Single lots.
(1) In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted, notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this chapter, a single-family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected on any single lot of record at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this chapter.
(2) The lot must be in separate ownership and not of continuous frontage with other lots in the same ownership.
(3) This provision shall apply even though the lot fails to meet the requirements for area or width, or both, that are generally applicable in the district provided that yard dimensions and other requirements not involving area or width, or both, of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the district in which the lot is located.
(B) Adjoining lots. If two (2) or more adjoining lots with continuous frontage are in a single ownership at any time after the adoption of this chapter and the lots individually are too small to meet the yard, width, and area requirements of the district in which they are located, the groups of lots shall be considered as a single lot or several lots of minimum permitted size and the lot or lots in one (1) ownership shall be subject to the requirements of this chapter.
