The following general regulations shall apply to all zoning districts.
(A) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, no building shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed, or structurally altered, nor shall any structure or land be used, except:
(1) For a purpose permitted in the district in which the structure or land is located;
(2) In conformance with the height and minimum lot requirements, and the parking, loading, stacking, and sign regulations, and any other applicable requirements of the district in which the structure or land is located; and
(3) In conformance with any federal, state, or municipal codes as may be applicable. Where this chapter and another chapter conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail.
(B) The density and yard regulations of this chapter are minimum regulations for each and every building existing at the effective date of the ordinance codified herein or for any building hereafter erected or structurally altered. No land required for yards or other open spaces about an existing building or any building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall be considered a yard or lot area for more than one building.
(C) Every building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall be located on a lot as herein defined, and in no case shall there be more than one main building on a lot except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
(D) Cooperatives, condominiums, and all other forms of property ownership do not affect the provisions of these regulations. All requirements shall be observed as though the property were under single ownership.
