Denied Building Permit

Location: Utah County, Utah - I inherited a small lot, about 1/4 acre, on which I wish to build a small home for a rental or my kids to use. The lot was originally part of the neighboring property, and was split off in the late '70s or early '80s.

The city has denied a building permit, stating that the lot doesn't meet zoning requirements to be it's own lot (too small, essentially). They stated that something was not done correctly when it was originally subdivided, and now it's an 'illegal lot' and will never be granted a building permit for anything.

Basically, I was told that it is useless ground, and I should try and sell it back to the owner of the lot it was originally split off of. My family has been paying city and county taxes on this lot for 30+ years with nobody ever complaining it wasn't a legal lot while taking our money.

Is it feasible to fight this, or is it really just too bad that a mistake was made so many years ago, and we have no viable recourse?

Thank You!
