A. General. A single-household dwelling and customary accessory buildings may be developed on a lot that fails to meet the minimum area and width dimensions for one-household dwellings as required by the underlying zone district and was an official “lot of record” prior to January 1, 1975, if:

1. The “lot of record” is in separate ownership or contiguous to lots in the same ownership; and

2. The proposed single-household dwelling can be located on the lot so that the yard, height, and other dimensional requirements of the underlying zone district can be met, or a variance is obtained from said dimensional requirements pursuant to Chapter 17.72 of this code.

Dwellings are permitted in the zone.

B. Undivided Lot. If two or more lots or combinations of contiguous lots in a single ownership (including husband and wife as, in all cases, a single owner) are of record since January 1, 1975, regardless of time of acquisition, on all or parts of the lots which do not meet the requirements established for lot width and area, the lots shall be considered an undivided parcel, and no portion shall be used or occupied which does not meet the width and area requirements of this code. Yard dimensions and other requirements not involving area or width shall conform to the regulations of the zone in which the lot is located, except when granted a variance by the hearing officer.

C. Lot Reduction.

1. No lot or interest therein shall be transferred, conveyed, sold or subdivided so as to create a new nonconforming lot, to avoid, circumvent or subvert any provision of this code, or to leave remaining any lot in violation of the dimensional requirements of this code.

2. No lot or portion of a lot required as a building site under this code shall be used as a portion of a lot required as a site for another structure.

3. No building permit shall be issued for any lot or parcel of land which has been conveyed, sold, or subdivided in violation of this subsection. Any transferee who acquires a lot in violation of this subsection without knowledge of such violation, and any subsequent transferee, shall have the right pursuant to Utah law to rescind and/or receive damages from any transferor who violates the provisions of this paragraph.
