Editor's Note: A copy of the Zoning Map is included as an attachment to this chapter.
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 road, the center line of the road 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 road center lines measured to the zone boundary. In all cases where distances are given, zone boundaries are parallel to the road center line.
D. 
In other cases the zone boundary shall be determined by the use of the scale on the Zoning Map.
Where a zone boundary divides a lot of record at the time such boundary is adopted, the zone requirements of the least restrictive portion of such lot shall extend 30 feet into the more restrictive portion of the lot, provided that the lot has frontage on a road 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.
