§ 98-380. Undeveloped or vacant subdivided land.

(a)

Individual platted lots. Except as provided in subsection 98-348(a), if an individual lot has been legally subdivided pursuant to a plat recorded in the public records of Miami-Dade County prior to the adoption of the ordinance from which this chapter derives, as amended, the individual lot, if lawful at the time of recording, becomes a nonconforming use if it varies from the requirements of this chapter, as amended; provided, however, that the lot owner does not own a lot abutting the individual lot. If the lot owner owns an abutting lot, the requirements of this chapter, as amended, must be satisfied.

(b)

Two or more platted lots or parts thereof. Except as provided in subsection 98-348(a), a nonconforming use will not be allowed if two or more contiguous lots or portions of lots with continuous frontage are owned by the same person. The property owner must comply with the current requirements of this chapter, as amended.
