[Amended 6-21-2023 by L.L. No. 7-2023]
The zones are shown, defined and bounded on the Zoning Map accompanying
this chapter entitled "Zoning Map," dated March 11, 2015, as amended
June 22, 2023. The Zoning Map is hereby made a part of this chapter
and shall be on file in the office of the Village Clerk.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the
various zones, as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall
apply:
A. Where the designation on the Zoning Map indicates a boundary approximately
upon a street, the centerline of the street shall be construed to
be the boundary.
B. Where the designation on the Zoning Map indicates a boundary approximately
upon a lot line, such lot line shall be construed to be the boundary.
C. Distances shown on the Zoning Map are perpendicular distances from
street centerlines measured to the zone boundary. In all cases where
distances are given, zone boundaries are parallel to the street centerline.
D. In other cases the zone boundary shall be determined by the use of
the scale on the Zoning Map.
Where a zone boundary line divides a lot of record at the time
such line is adopted, the regulations for the less restricted part
of such lot shall extend not more than 30 feet into the more restricted
part, provided the lot has frontage on a street in the less restricted
zone.
In the event that a metes-and-bounds description has been filed
for a zone change or a variance as required by this chapter, such
metes-and-bounds description may be used in lieu of other provisions
of this article.
