d.
Lot Areas Affected by Street Widening.
1.
Where a building or structure is located on property acquired for public use, such building or structure may be relocated on the same lot or parcel of land although the lot area regulations of this Chapter cannot reasonably be complied with. Further, where any part of such a building or structure is acquired for public use, the remainder of such building or structure may be repaired, reconstructed or remodeled with the same or similar kinds of materials used in the existing building.
2.
If a lot or parcel of land contains the required area, and less than 45% of such lot or parcel of land is acquired for public use, the remainder shall be considered to comply with the lot area requirements of this Chapter.
