A.

In any district in which single-family dwellings are permitted, notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this title, a single-family dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be erected, rebuilt or enlarged on any single lot of record at the effective date of adoption or amendment of the ordinance codified in this title. Such lot must be in separate ownership and not of contiguous frontage with other lots in the same ownership. This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet the requirements for area or width, or both, that are generally applicable in the district; provided, that yard dimensions and other requirements not involving area or width, or both, of the lot shall conform to the regulations for the district in which such lot is located. Variance of area, width, and yard requirements shall be obtained as required in Chapter 17.44 and Title 14 of this code.

B.

If two or more vacant lots or combinations of lots and portions of lots with continuous frontage in single ownership are of record at the time of passage or amendment of this title, and if all or part of the lots do not meet the requirements for lot width and area as established by this title, the lands involved shall be considered to be an undivided parcel for the purpose of this title, and no portion of said parcel shall be used or sold which does not meet lot width and area requirements established by this title nor shall any division of the parcel be made which leaves remaining any lot with width or area below the requirements stated in this title. Provided, however, that no vested subdivision or short subdivision will be subject to this subsection during the five year period following its approval unless the county commissioners find that a change in conditions creates a serious threat to public health or safety.
