§ 27-705. Nonconforming lots of record.

(a)

Notwithstanding limitations imposed by the provisions of this chapter, nonconforming lots of record may be developed and used for any use permitted in the district, provided:

(1)

That all other density control requirements are met; and are nonconforming solely due to requirements set forth in subsection 27-226(f)(2)b; and

(2)

That such lots shall have a minimum width throughout their length of at least forty (40) feet; and

(3)

That any new development shall conform to the required setbacks, lot coverage limitations and off-street parking requirements for the district in which it is located.

(b)

Wherever there exists a structure which by itself or with accessory structures exists on a parcel containing more than one (1) nonconforming lot of record, said building site shall not henceforth be reduced or diminished in dimension or area below the minimum requirements set forth in this chapter for the district in which it is located (regardless of whether the structure or accessory structures have been demolished, destroyed or removed therefrom, in whole or in part).

(c)

If two (2) or more lots or combinations of lots and portion of lots with continuous frontage are under single ownership at any time after August 1, 1994, and if all or part of the individual lots do not meet the requirements for minimum lot width or area imposed by any provision of this chapter, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purposes of this chapter, and no division of said parcel shall be made thereafter which leaves remaining any lot or parcel with width or area below the minimum requirements stated in this chapter.
