(a) If two or more nonconforming lots, or portions thereof, with continuous frontage are in single ownership, the Zoning Board of Appeals may, upon appeal of the Zoning Administrator's decision to deny a zoning permit for failure to meet the requirements of this Ordinance, determine that these lots are or are not to be an undivided parcel for the purpose of this Ordinance. If considered an undivided parcel, no portion of said parcel shall be used or sold in a manner which diminishes compliance with lot width and area requirements established by this Ordinance, nor shall any division of said parcel be made which creates a lot with a width or area below the requirements stated in this Ordinance.
(b) If each said parcel is developed separately, a finding shall be made by the Zoning Board of Appeals that such development and density will not be a detriment to the surrounding area. (Ord. 11-07. Passed 7-18-07.)
