Lake County Zoning Code § 42.2 Lots of record

(a) Any single lot or parcel of land, which was of record and a legal lot at the time of adoption of this Chapter, but does not meet the requirements of the district in which it is located for minimum lot width and area, may be utilized for all permitted uses, if all other requirements of this Chapter are met.

(b) No lot existing at the effective date of this Chapter shall be reduced in dimension or area in relation to any building thereon so as to be smaller than required by this Chapter. However, in the case of a recorded lot which already has less area or does not conform with the minimum average lot width or maximum length to width ratio as required by this Code, said lot may be reduced in area by not more than ten (10) percent of the existing lot area and the lot dimensions may be modified at the discretion of the Review Authority through the lot line adjustment provisions in Chapter 17, the Subdivision Ordinance of the County of Lake. .
