§ 21-435. Nonconforming lots of record.

(a)

Where two (2) or more nonconforming lots with continuous frontages are under the same ownership or where a nonconforming lot has a continuous frontage with a larger tract under the same ownership, such lot or lots shall be combined to form one (1) or more building sites meeting the lot requirements of the district in which they are located.

(b)

The City may issue a building permit for a single-family dwelling on any single nonconforming lot of record not on a waterfront, provided that the remedies set forth in this section cannot be complied with, that such use is permitted, and that the proposed dwelling meets all setback, lot coverage, maximum height and minimum living area requirements and all other district regulations of the district in which the lot is located. A building permit may be issued for a single-family dwelling on a waterfront nonconforming lot upon approval by the Development Special Magistrate where such dwelling and lot meet the above criteria. However, the Development Special Magistrate may impose additional reasonable restrictions upon the applicant to minimize the adverse effects which would not otherwise exist if the lot were legally conforming. No construction shall be permitted on any lot where such parcel was originally a part of subdivided lot of record, whether contiguous or not, (i.e., a single subdivision lot bisected by a public or private road) without approval of the Development Special Magistrate.

(c)

A single-family dwelling may exist on lots less than sixty (60) feet in width.
