Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in
the City offices.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the
boundaries of any aforesaid districts as shown on the Zoning Map,[1] the following shall apply:
A.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the center lines or right-of-way lines of streets, highways,
public utility easements, or watercourses, said boundaries shall be
construed to be coincident with such lines. Such boundaries shall
be deemed to be automatically moved if a center line or right-of-way
line of such street, highway, public utility or watercourse is moved
a maximum of 50 feet.
B.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the City boundary line, property lines, lot lines, or projections
thereof, said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with
such lines or projections thereof.
C.
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they
are approximately parallel to the City boundary line, property lines,
lot lines, right-of-way lines, or projections thereof, said boundaries
shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distances
therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map or as shall be determined
by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
D.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in a
single or joint ownership of record at the time such line is established,
the regulations for the less restricted portion of such lot shall
extend not more than 30 feet into the more restricted portion.
E.
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, but in no instance will a district depth
be less than the specified minimum lot depth required for each district.
