southerly portion of the Route 28 corridor and a portion of the northerly

With regard to the northerly Route 28 corridor, its purpose is to
allow lands previously used for quarrying and similar uses to be redeveloped
for a variety of commercial uses that are not highway oriented. With
regard to the lands along the Hill Road corridor, its purpose is to
allow commercial uses compatible with the residential character of
the Hill Road corridor, especially including outdoor recreation uses.

the remainder of the Town of Kingston. Its purpose is to provide for
residential uses, home occupations and other compatible uses.
D.

Tower Overlay Zone (TOZ) is established to provide for the siting
of telecommunication towers within the Town of Kingston. All use and
area requirements in the underlying zoning district also apply within
the TOZ.
The location and boundaries of the zoning districts
are shown on the Town of Kingston Map. Said map, together with all
explanatory matters thereon and all amendments thereto, is hereby
adopted and is declared to be a part of this chapter. Said map shall
be kept up-to-date and shall be located in the Town Clerk's Office
for the use and benefit of the public.

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries
of any of the zoning districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following
rules shall apply:

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.
(2)
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the Town boundary line, property lines, lot lines, or projections
thereof, said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with
such lines or projections thereof.
(3)
Where a district boundary line divides a single lot,
the regulations for the less-restricted portion of such lot may, at
the owner's discretion, extend not more than 100 feet into the more
restricted portion.
(4)
In all other cases, where dimensions are not shown
on the Zoning Map, the location of the boundaries shown on the Map
