ARTICLE IV
Provisions Applicable Across Districts
§ 450-10 Application of regulations; calculating minimum front yard depths.
[Amended 5-13-2008 by L.L. No. 1-2008]
No building or structure shall hereafter be constructed, used or occupied, and no part of any building or structure shall hereafter be moved or altered, and no lot shall hereafter be used or occupied except in conformity with the schedule of regulations herein set forth for the district in which the same is located. Unless the construction, use, occupancy, moving or alteration of a building or structure, or the use or occupancy of a lot, is specifically permitted under the provisions of this chapter, such use, occupancy, moving or alteration is prohibited by this chapter.
Any parcel of land with an area or a width less than that prescribed for a lot in the district in which such lot is situated, which at the time of the adoption of this chapter was under one ownership, may be used as a lot for any use or purpose permitted in the district in which such lot is situated without the necessity of an area variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals, provided that the owner of such lot owns no adjoining land and provided further that all other regulations prescribed by this chapter for the district in which such lot is situated are complied with.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any other section, paragraph, subdivision or subparagraph of this chapter, the following provisions shall be applied and used in calculating and measuring the required minimum front yard depths: in all cases, the required minimum front yard depths shall be measured from the center of the road, street, or highway on which the lot fronts; and the number of feet currently set forth (for each zoning district) on the minimum lots requirements chart and in subsections relating to collector and arterial roads shall be increased by 25 feet for the purpose of determining the required minimum front yard depths.
