A lot of record which does not comply with the area and/or width of lot regulations of the district in which the lot is located on the effective date of this Zoning Code or any amendment thereto, causing the lot to become nonconforming, may be used as follows:
(a) If occupied by a dwelling, such dwelling shall be maintained and may be repaired, modernized or altered, provided that the building shall not be enlarged in floor area unless the enlarged sections comply with all regulations of this Zoning Code, with the exception of the lot area and the lot width regulations. The number of dwelling units shall not be increased unless all regulations are complied with.
(b) If two or more vacant lots of record or a combination of lots and portions of lots, with contiguous frontage in single ownership, are nonconforming as defined in this section, such lots shall be re-subdivided to conform to the lot area and width regulations of the district in which the lots are located.
(c) In a Residential District, when a lot of insufficient area is in separate ownership and cannot be enlarged by acquiring adjoining vacant land, the lot shall be permitted to be used as a site for a one-family dwelling and accessory building only, provided that all other regulations of this Planning and Zoning Code, except lot area and lot width regulations, are complied with.
