§ 34-291. Lots of record

(a) Single lots. Where the owner of a lot at the time of the adoption of the ordinance from which this article is derived or his successor in title thereto does not own sufficient land to enable him to conform to the dimensional requirements of this article, such lot may be used as a building site for a single-family residence in a district where residences are permitted, provided that the development of the lot is in compliance with the subdivision regulations and restrictions applicable thereto.

(b) Adjoining lots. If two or more adjoining lots with continuous frontage are in a single ownership at any time after the adoption of the ordinance from which this article is derived and such lots individually are too small to meet the requirements of the district in which they are located, such groups of lots shall be considered as a single lot or several lots of minimum permitted size and the lot or lots in one ownership shall be subject to the requirements of this article.
