§ 20-73. Nonconforming lots of record.

(a)

No variance shall be required to construct a detached single-family dwelling on a nonconforming lot of record, excluding platted outlots, provided that it fronts on a public street or approved private street and provided that the structure meets the minimum requirements of this chapter.

(b)

Except as otherwise specifically provided for detached single-family dwellings, there shall be no expansion, intensification, replacement or structural changes of a structure on a nonconforming lot.

(c)

If a nonconforming lot or parcel is, or at any time since June 25, 2012, has been held in common ownership with all or part of an adjoining or abutting parcel or lot, then such nonconforming lot or parcel and such adjoining or abutting parcel or lot shall be deemed one lot. If in a group of two or more adjoining or abutting lots or parcels owned or controlled by the same person, any single lot or parcel does not meet 75 percent of the full minimum depth, width, and area requirements of this chapter, such single lot or parcel shall not be considered as a separate lot or parcel able to be conveyed or developed under this chapter.
