2010-11, 10/12/2010, § 2]
The locations and boundaries of said districts shall be as shown,
except the FP-Floodplain District and Airport Hazard Overlay District
which are overlay districts, upon the map attached to and made part
of this chapter which map shall be designed "Zoning Map." The said
map and all notations, references and other data shown thereon are
hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter as if all were
fully described herein.
[Ord. 1996-1, 1/23/1996, § 202]
1. The boundaries between districts are as shown by lines properly identified
as District Boundary Lines and shown on the Zoning Map. Where uncertainty
exists as to boundaries of any districts as shown on said map, the
following rules shall apply:
A. District boundary lines are intended to follow or be parallel to
the center line of streets, streams and railroads; and lot or property
lines as they exist on plans of record at the time of the adoption
of this chapter, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by
dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B. Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where it
approximately follows lot lines and where it does not scale more than
10 feet therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries
unless specifically shown otherwise.
C. In unsubdivided land or where a district boundary divides a lot,
the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions,
shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the map.
[Ord. 1996-1, 1/23/1996, § 203]
In case of any uncertainty, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret
the intent of the Zoning Map as to location of district boundaries.
