In determining the boundaries of zones shown
on the map, the following rules shall apply:

for any purpose or in any manner except in conformity with this chapter.
Where a lot is formed from part of a lot already occupied by a building,
such subdivision shall be effected in such a manner as not to impair
any of the requirements of this chapter with respect to the existing
building and all yards and other open space in connection therewith
and so that all resulting lots have adequate dimensions consistent
with the requirements of the zoning district in which they are located.

In addition to the above, in the event that any use
is located in or directly adjacent to a residential zone:

The location, size, activity, site layout, street
access, pedestrian and vehicular movement and possible assembly of

affect property values of the adjacent lands or buildings.
