(A) Where there is a vacant lot of official record, which lot at the time of adoption of this chapter does not include sufficient land to conform to the yard or other requirements of this chapter, an application may be submitted to the ZHB by the owner of said lot for variance from the terms of this chapter.
(B) Any existing lot of record held in single and separate ownership different from the ownership of abutting lots may be used for the establishment of a use and/or erection of a structure which will contain a use permitted by the applicable zoning district in which it is located even though its dimensions are less than the minimum requirements of this chapter, except as set forth herein.
(C) Lots held in single and separate ownership. Any lot held single and separate ownership of the effective date of this chapter which does not meet the minimum size requirements of the zoning district in which it is located may be used for any use permitted in that district provided that all yard, height and open space requirements are met; provided, that if two or more lots, combination of lots and portion or lots with continuous frontage in single ownership are of record at the time of passage or amendment of this chapter, and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements established for lot width and/or area, the land involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purpose of this chapter, and no portion of said parcel shall be used or sold in a manner which diminishes compliance with lot width and/or area requirements established by this chapter, nor shall any division of any parcel be made which creates a lot width or area below the requirements stated in this chapter.
