    For a period of five years following the date of final plat approval, lots in a final plat filed for record, regardless of whether the lots are in single and separate or contiguous ownership, may be developed for uses and densities approved for the lot at the time of final plat approval. As to development regulations other than use and density, the lot must be developed pursuant to the standards contained in this title, unless the director finds that the application of a given standard would result in an extreme and unreasonable building design or configuration.

    Legal lots, as defined under Section 18.04.045 of this code, not subject to the exception in subsection (1) of this section may be developed for uses and in the manner permitted by this title and amendments thereto even though the lot fails to meet lot area and width standards prescribed by this title for the lot. As to development regulations other than lot area and width standards, a lot must be developed pursuant to all such applicable development regulations.
