A. 
Zoning Map. The boundaries of each of the districts listed in § 215-5 are hereby established as shown upon the duly adopted Zoning Map which accompanies this chapter and which, with all notations, references and other matters shown thereon, is hereby declared a part of this chapter.[1]

Editor's Note: A copy of the Zoning Map is included at the end of this chapter.
B. 
Interpretation.
(1) 
Generally. The district boundary lines, unless shown otherwise, are intended generally to follow street center lines, railroad right-of-way boundary lines or their center lines, other similar right-of-way lines, or lot lines or boundaries of subdivisions or Village boundary lines, all as shown on the Zoning Map. Where a district boundary line does not follow such a line but is shown parallel to such a line on the Zoning Map, the distance between the parallel lines shall be as dimensioned on the Zoning Map. Such dimensions shall be construed to read from the outside edge of all rights-of-way rather than from their center lines.
(2) 
Inaccurate street layouts. Where the street layout actually on the ground varies from the street layout as shown on the Zoning Map, the designation shown on the mapped streets shall be applied in such a way as to carry out the purpose and intent of the Zoning Map for the particular area in question.
(3) 
Scaling. When the location of a district boundary line cannot be otherwise determined, the determination thereof shall be made by scaling the distance on the Zoning Map from a line of known location to such district boundary line.
(4) 
Interpretation by Board of Appeals. In the case of uncertainty as to the true location of a district boundary line in a particular instance, an appeal may be taken to the Board of Appeals, as provided in this chapter.
(5) 
Division of lot. When a district boundary line divides a lot in a single ownership at the effective date of this chapter or any subsequent amendment thereto, the Board of Appeals may permit extension into one district of a lawful conforming use existing in the other district, as hereinafter provided.
(6) 
Underwater lands. All lands within the Village that are underwater shall be considered to be zoned in accordance with those district regulations applied to the upland adjacent to them and as if any district boundary line shown on the Zoning Map as intersecting the water's edge was projected across such water body to its interception of the Village boundary line, or other district boundaries.
