the notations, references and other data shown thereon are hereby
incorporated by reference into this chapter and shall be as much a
part of this chapter as if all were fully described herein.
The boundaries between districts are, unless
otherwise indicated, either the center lines of streets or railroad
rights-of-ways, or such lines extended, or lines parallel thereto.
Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between a street and a district
boundary line, they indicate that the district boundary line runs
parallel to the street line at a distance therefrom equivalent to
the number of feet so indicated.
[Amended 11-14-1995 by Ord. No. 9-1995]

held in single and separate ownership at the effective date of this
chapter, the regulations as to the use in the less-restricted district
shall extend over the portion of the lot in the more-restricted district
a distance of not more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary line.
For the purposes of this chapter, the districts shall be considered
to be restrictive in the following order, listed from least restrictive
to most restrictive: R-3, R-2, R-1, RA-1, RA, RU, O-P, HB, O, I, M,
