The zoning districts are shown, defined and bounded on a map entitled "Zoning Map, Village of Carthage, Jefferson County, New York" dated 2006 and are further described by this chapter.[1] This chapter includes both explanatory materials and the map. This chapter (as well as any amendments thereto) must be filed in the Office of the Village Clerk. The Village Clerk shall certify (by recording the nature and date) any changes to the chapter or map.

Editor's Note: The Zoning Map and amendments thereto are on file in the Village offices.
A. 
If a metes and bounds description has been filed for a change of zone, such description shall be used instead of other provisions of this section.
B. 
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the exact boundaries of districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the final decision will be made by the Village Zoning Board of Appeals.
C. 
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single or joint ownership existing at the time of enactment of this chapter, the use authorized on and the district requirements of the least restricted portion of such lot shall be understood as extending to the entire lot.
D. 
District boundary lines generally follow or parallel, at set distances, center lines of roads, waterways, railroads, existing lot lines and other man-made and natural features. The Zoning Inspector shall be given the authority to scale these districts from the Zoning Map and relate them to accurate ground points when they are not appropriately delineated on the Map.
