Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundary of any
district as shown on the City of Glens Falls Zoning Map, the following
rules shall apply.
A. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
the center lines of right-of-way lines of streets, highways, railroads
or public utility easements, said boundaries shall be construed to
be coincident with such lines.
B. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately
parallel to the center lines of right-of-way lines of streets, highways,
railroads, or public utility easements, said boundaries shall be construed
as being parallel thereto and at such distances as are indicated on
the Zoning Map or as shall be determined by the scale shown on the
Zoning Map.
C. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
the City boundary line, property lines, lot lines or projections thereof,
said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with such lines
or projections thereof.
D. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately
parallel to the City boundary line, property lines, lot lines or projections
thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto
and at such distances therefrom as are indicated on the Zoning Map.
E. Where a street, highway, railroad or public utility easement, center
line or right-of-way line is coincident with a zoning boundary line
and varies from the actual on-the-ground physical monument or mark,
then such on-the-ground physical monument or mark shall determine
said zoning boundary.
F. Where uncertainty exists in determining the precise location of any
district boundary line, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall interpret
the intent and purpose of the Zoning Map.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single or joint
ownership at the time such line is adopted, the regulations for the
less restricted portion of such lot may extend not more than 30 feet
into the more restricted portion, provided the lot has frontage on
a street in the less restricted district. Otherwise, unless shown
to the contrary on the Zoning Map, the boundary lines of districts
are the center lines of streets, or such lines extended, railroad
right-of-way lines and the center lines of creeks and waterways. Questions
concerning the exact location of the district boundary lines shall
be answered by the enforcement officer.

the conventional district and overlay district shall apply. When requirements
differ, the more restrictive shall apply.
