In any district in which one-family dwellings and customary accessory buildings may be erected on any lot of record at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this title, even though such lot fails to meet the requirements for area or width, or both, that are generally applicable in the district. However, 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 only through action of the board of adjustment.

If two (2) or more 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 purposes 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.
