400.190, in any City block where more than fifty percent (50%) of the lots on the same side of the street as the lot in question are in compliance with the area requirements of this Chapter, a lot of record which does not comply with the area requirements for the Class "R-2" Single-Family Dwelling District regulations, shall be brought into compliance with the minimum area requirements and width requirements for this zone if the owner of such lot shall at any time, after April 24, 1963, also own:
1. An adjoining lot or other unplatted or unsubdivided property sufficiently
large in area that if combined with the non-conforming lot it would
bring the non-conforming lot into conformance and compliance with
the requirements in this zone, even though such combining of such
property would result in fewer buildable lots.
2. A lot with an improvement or building on it, whether a lot of record
or an unsubdivided property adjacent to the non-conforming lot of
record, which, if transferred to, combined with and made a part of
the lot of record would bring the lot of record into compliance and
would not render the lot or property containing the improvements and
remaining after such transfer a non-conforming lot.

portion of it may be sold or transferred, the owner of such non-conforming
lot shall bring it into compliance. Any owner of property from and
after April 24, 1963, who shall own a non-conforming lot and adjacent
property to it that would enable him/her to bring it into compliance
in accordance with the terms of this Section and who transfers any
portion of such property so as to make it impossible for him/her to
comply with the provisions of this Section, shall not nor shall any
successor in title thereto be granted a building permit to use the
remaining portion of the lot or to use the lot of record remaining.
Such transfer of property shall be considered illegal and void and
against the provisions of this Chapter.
