Said districts are located and bounded as shown on a map titled
"Zoning Map of Gardner, Massachusetts," scale one-inch equals 1,000
feet, as most recently updated and on file in the office of the City
Clerk, City Engineer's office and Department of Community Development
and Planning, as amended. The Zoning Map with all explanatory matters
thereon is hereby made a part of this chapter. For amendments to the
Zoning Map, see the Table of Zoning Map Amendments included at the
end of this chapter.
A. Where a boundary is shown as following a street, railroad, or utility,
the boundary shall be the center line thereof unless otherwise indicated.
B. Where a boundary is shown outside a street, railroad, or utility
and approximately parallel to the nearest line thereof, the figure
placed on the Zoning Map between the boundary and such line shall
be the distance in feet between them, as measured at a right angle
from such line unless otherwise indicated.
C. Where a boundary is shown as following a watercourse, the boundary
shall coincide with the center line thereof as said line existed at
the date of the Zoning Map.
D. Where the location of a boundary line is otherwise uncertain, the
Building Commissioner shall determine its position in accordance with
the distance in feet from other lines as given or as measured from
the scale of the map.
E. Where a district boundary line divides a lot, the regulations applying
to the portion of such lot in the less restricted district may be
considered as extending not more than 50 feet into the more restricted
portion, but only if the lot has frontage on a street in the less
restricted district.
