Whenever this chapter creates a nonconforming lot and the owner, or his or her successor in title thereto, of the nonconforming lot also owns land adjacent to the nonconforming lot and a portion of the adjacent land can be combined with the nonconforming lot to create a conforming lot (without creating other nonconformities), the owner of the nonconforming lot shall, before beginning any construction thereon, so combine the nonconforming lot and the adjacent land, and where necessary, re-divide the lots comprising the adjacent land, to create a conforming lot.
