95x 100 lot subdivide help. Norfolk, VA

[Terreon Conyers]

I have a 95 x 100 ft lot that I'm looking to split into two 47.5 x100 foot lots. The lots would be considered non conforming lots because they are under the standard of 50 x 100. I've heard that the city of Norfolk will allow you to build on both lots if you first get a surveyor to divide the lots and then go down to the city with plans. I was also instructed to put each lot in a separate business names to prevent having to go before the board for approval(which takes longer). Can anyone confirm or give advice? Thanks.
