Title An Ordinance modifying the minimum lot size requirements of certain lots in the R-R Zone recorded prior to November 29, 1949. Background In 2001, the County Council enacted legislation allowing the minimum lot size for certain lots recorded before November 29, 1949 to be reduced to 5,000 square feet if the original size was 10,000 square feet but reduced in size due to a right of way taking or some other public purpose provided a building permit was obtained prior to July 1, 2003. This legislation amends this footnote to allow the reduction without a building permit issued prior to July 1, 2003 if certain variances for development of a lot were approved by the Board of Appeals prior to the right of way taking which reduced the lot size below the minimum 10,000 square feet requirement.
