§ 93.00.00. Lot area and lot dimensions. ¶
A. A lot, for the purposes of applying the provisions of this Zoning Code, shall be a parcel or unit of land which has been created under the provisions of the State Subdivision Map Act, or any prior law regulating the division of land, or the local ordinance enacted pursuant thereto.
B. All lots of a subdivision recorded in the office of the county recorder and all lot sizes approved by the planning commission pursuant to the approval of a record of survey, whether recorded or not, shall retain their approved form and dimension unless a subsequent subdivision or lot line adjustment is approved by the city and recorded with the county recorder.
C. Two or more contiguous parcels or units of land held by the same owner, where any one of such contiguous parcels does not conform to standards for minimum parcel size and at least one of such nonconforming contiguous parcels is not developed with a building for which a permit has been issued, shall be merged pursuant to Section 9.61.030 of the Municipal Code.
D. Where a lot or a property under separate ownership is an existing recorded lot, created prior to the applicability of the State Subdivision Map Act or any local ordinances and without privilege of other legal document, it may continue to be considered as an individual lot for the purposes of applying the provisions of the zone in which such lot is located; provided that, the city causes a certificate at compliance to be recorded with the county recorder.
