Unless otherwise specifically set forth, wherever a permitted use is named as a major category in this Ordinance, it shall be deemed to include all and only those itemized uses under the said major category listed in the R1 District of this Ordinance. No building or tract of land shall be devoted to any use other than a use permitted hereinafter in the zoning district in which such building or tract of land shall be located, with the exception of the following:

(b) Lot Size Requirements. Lot size requirements shall be as specified under each zoning district. In addition, the following regulations shall be complied with:
(1) No building shall be converted so as to conflict with, or further conflict with, the lot size requirements of the district in which such building is located.
(2) No use shall be established or hereafter maintained on a lot recorded after the effective date of this Ordinance, which is of less area or less width than prescribed hereinafter for such use in the zoning district in which it is to be located.
(3) No dwelling unit shall be constructed in any residence district without public utilities (water and sanitary sewers) unless there is provided the following minimum amounts of land area for each such dwelling unit:
A. Lots without both public water and public sanitary sewers, being also an area where such public facilities will not be established within the forseable future (usually within the limits of the capital improvements program), 20,000 square feet with a minimum frontage at the building setback line of 100 feet; and an average frontage of at least 100 feet.
B. Lots without public sanitary sewers only, being also an area where such public facilities will not be established within the forseable future 10,000 square feet, with a minimum frontage at the building setback line of 100 feet, and an average frontage of at least 100 feet.
