§ 331-8. Interpretation of district boundaries.  


Latest version.
  • Where uncertainty exists as to the locations of any boundaries shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
    A. 
    District boundary lines follow lot lines, streets, municipal boundaries, rights-of-way, railroad rights-of-way or watercourses, or are parallel or perpendicular thereto, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions, as shown on the Zoning Map.
    B. 
    Where district boundaries are shown approximately following streets, rights-of-way, railroad rights-of-way or watercourses, the center lines thereof shall be such boundaries.
    C. 
    Where district boundaries are shown approximately following municipal boundaries or lot lines, such municipal boundaries or lot lines shall be the district boundaries.
    D. 
    Where district boundary lines divide a lot, the location of any such boundary, if not indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the map scale appearing thereon.
    E. 
    If the district classification of any property is in question, it shall be deemed to be in the most restrictive adjoining district.
    F. 
    In all cases where a district boundary is located not farther than 15 feet from a lot line of record, the boundary shall be construed to coincide with such line. In all other cases, where not dimensioned, the location of boundaries shown on the map shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
