2.
A lot with an improvement or building on it, whether a lot of record or an unsubdivided property adjacent to the non-conforming lot of record, which, if transferred to, combined with and made a part of the lot of record would bring the lot of record into compliance and would not render the lot or property containing the improvements and remaining after such transfer a non-conforming lot.
