The boundaries for each district listed as part of this chapter
are the boundaries indicated for the district by the map entitled
the "Official Zoning Map of the Town of Chili." The Official Zoning
Map is on file with the Town of Chili, Town Clerks Office, and may
be amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions contained
in this chapter.
There shall exist only one Official Zoning Map, which shall
be kept in the office of the Town Clerk, and it shall bear the Seal
of the Town of Chili, a certification that it is the Official Zoning
Map of the Town of Chili and its date of adoption. Said Zoning Map
shall be on material suitable for reproduction by a dry diazo copier
or equivalent process. Copies of this map which may from time to time
be published and distributed would be accurate only as of the date
of their printing and shall bear words to that effect. Changes made
in district boundaries or other matters portrayed on the Zoning Map
under the provisions of this chapter shall be permanently affixed
to the Zoning Map promptly after the amendment has been approved by
the Town Board and shall convey information as to the date and nature
of the change. No amendment to this chapter which involves matter
portrayed on the Zoning Map shall become effective until such change
and entry has been made on said map and has been attested by the Town
Clerk. Should the Zoning Map become damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult
to interpret because of the changes and additions, the Town Board
may by resolution adopt a new Zoning Map to supersede the former map.
The new Zoning Map shall bear a statement which explains that it supersedes
the prior map and gives the dates of adoption of both the prior map
and the new Zoning Map. If possible, the prior map and the records
of its adoption and amendments shall be preserved.
In making a determination where uncertainty exists as to boundaries
of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on said Zoning Map, the
following rules shall apply and be interpreted or applied by the Planning
Board:
A.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
the center line or right-of-way line of streets, alleys, highways,
railroads or streams, such lines shall be construed to be such district
boundaries.
B.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries. If a district boundary divides a lot into two or more districts, the entire lot shall be placed in the district that accounts for the greater area of the lot, provided that the boundary adjustment is not more than a distance of 20 feet. If an adjustment of more than 20 feet is required or if one of the zones in question is a Floodway District (FW), then any change in the district boundary shall be treated as a change in the zone and must comply with Article X of this chapter.
D.
Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated in the
manner authorized by law, the zoning district adjoining each side
of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended
to the center of the former right-of-way, and all of the area included
in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations
of the extended districts. In the event that none of the above rules
is applicable, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated
by dimension on the map, shall be determined by the Planning Board.
