No portion <br /> of said parcel shall be used, altered or sold in a manner which <br /> diminishes compliance with lot area and width requirements, nor shall <br /> any division of any such parcel be made which creates a lot with a <br /> width or area below the requirements permitted by the City's Zoning <br /> Code. <br /> 3) If two or more substandard lots or a combination of lots or <br /> substandard lots and portions of lots or substandard lots are <br /> contiguous and a structure is constructed on or across the lot <br /> line(s) which makes the lots contiguous, then the lands involved <br /> shall be merged and considered to be a single undivided parcel. No <br /> portion of said parcel shall be used, altered or sold in any manner <br /> which diminishes compliance with lot area and width requirements, nor <br /> shall any division be made which creates a lot with a width or area <br /> below the requirements permitted by the City's Zoning Code. <br /> "Structure" means anything constructed or <br /> erected, the use of which requires location on <br /> the ground or attachment to something having <br /> location on the ground and includes, but is not <br /> limited to houses, garages, carports and <br /> accessory structures. <br /> Section 5: Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance shall be <br /> declared unconstitutional or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, <br /> it shall be conclusively presumed that this Ordinance would have been <br /> enacted without the provision so held unconstitutional or invalid and the <br /> remainder of the Ordinance shall not be affected as a result of said part <br /> being held unconstitutional or invalid. <br /> CITY IF EVERETT <br /> ., ittillb <br /> , '4 . ‘ <br /> WILLIAM E.
