In determining the boundaries of districts shown
on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the center lines of streets, highways, watercourses or railroad
rights-of-way or such lines extended, such center lines shall be construed
to be such boundaries.
B. Where such boundaries are indicated, as approximately
following the property lines of parks or other publicly owned lands,
such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C. Unless otherwise shown, all district boundaries running
parallel to streets shall be construed to be 200 feet back from the
rights-of-way of said streets.
D. In all cases where a district boundary line is located
not farther than 15 feet away from a lot line of record, such boundary
line shall be construed to coincide with such lot line.
E. In all cases where dimensions are not shown on the
Zoning Map, the location of boundaries shown on the Map shall be determined
by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
The Floodplain District Map shall be deemed an overlay on any zoning district now or hereafter applicable to any lot. Should the Floodplain District be declared inapplicable to any tract by reason of action of: i) the Board of Supervisors in amending this chapter; or ii) the Zoning Hearing Board or any court of competent jurisdiction in interpreting the same; or iii) the Zoning Hearing Board of any court of competent jurisdiction in determining the legal effect of the same; the zoning applicable to such lot shall be deemed to be the district in which it is located without consideration of §
255-6 which follows.
