A. A nonconforming use, nonconforming structure, or nonconforming lot may be continued as hereinafter provided.
B. Where two or more adjacent lots, one or more of which is nonconforming based on lot size, are owned by the same owner, and the ownership of the lots is concurrent, such lots shall be combined to create conforming lots, or to lessen the nonconformity if it is not possible to create all conforming lots. “Owned by the same owner” indicates ownership separate and distinct from the owners of adjacent properties. Corporations organized for the purpose of avoiding this definition are not recognized as separate owners.
