If an owner has an interest in more than one lot of record contiguous to other lots of <br />record, all such lots shall be combined to meet the requirements of this section or the <br />applicable zoning district standards. If sufficient contiguous property is held in one <br />ownership to comply with the standard of the applicable zoning district, then those more <br />restrictive provisions will apply. In no circumstances will there be approval of any proposal <br />for multiple lot developments based upon lots of record, and not conforming with the <br />provisions of the existing zoning district. <br />2. Legal nonconforming, vacant, substandard-sized lots of record may be developed for <br />single-family detached dwellings upon approval by the community development director or <br />designee, provided that: <br />i. The lot in question was legally established in accordance with chapter <br />requirements existing at the time of its creation and is a separate, distinct tax <br />parcel. <br />ii. The lot is properly zoned for single-family land uses. <br />iii. Minimum lot size. <br />A. A lot of record having direct access to municipal sewer and water may be <br />developed in accordance with this chapter provided measurements for <br />lot area and width are within 75 percent of the requirements of the base <br />zoning district. <br />B. A lot of record not having access to municipal sewer and water may be <br />developed provided it complies with county regulations. <br />iv. The lot in question has frontage on a public street. <br />v. Public health concerns (potable water and sanitary sewer) can be adequately <br />provided. <br />vi. The setback and yard requirements of the applicable zoning district can be <br />achieved while simultaneously resulting in development that complies with the <br />character and quality of the immediate area and the objectives of the city's <br />comprehensive plan and this chapter. <br />b. An existing conforming use on a lot of substandard size and width may be expanded or enlarged <br />if such expansion or enlargement meets all other provisions of this chapter. <br />(5) In the floodplain district. <br />a. Any structural alteration or addition to a nonconforming structure or nonconforming use which <br />would result in increasing the flood damage potential of that structure or use shall be protected <br />to the regulatory flood protection elevation in accordance with any of the elevation on fill or <br />floodproofing techniques (i.e., FP-1 thru FP-4 floodproofing classifications) allowable in the state <br />building code, except as further restricted in subsection b. below. <br />b. If a substantial improvement occurs, as defined in section 90-1 of this chapter, then the building <br />addition and the existing nonconforming building must meet the requirements of subsection 90- <br />138 (4) and (5) of this chapter, for new structures, depending upon whether the structure is in <br />the floodway or flood fringe, respectively. <br />(Prior Code, § 1025-010.1, § 1025-020.1, § 90-46; Ord. No. 2009-434, § 1, 10-5-2009)
