Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in the Village offices.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. 
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines or right-of-way lines of streets, highways, public utility easements or watercourses, said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with such lines. Such boundaries shall be deemed to be automatically moved if a center line or right-of-way line of such street, highway, public utility or watercourse is moved a maximum distance of 50 feet.
B. 
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the Village boundary line, property lines, lot lines or utility lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be coincident with such lines or projections thereof.
C. 
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the Village boundary line, property line, lot lines or right-of-way lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map or as shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
D. 
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in a single or joint ownership of record at the time such line is established, the regulations for the less restricted portion of such lot shall extend not more than 30 feet into the more restricted portion.
E. 
In all other cases, where not dimensioned, the location of boundaries shown on the map shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
Except as hereinafter provided:
A. 
No land or building shall hereafter be used, occupied, erected, moved or altered unless in conformity with the regulations hereinafter specified for the district in which it is located.
B. 
No building shall hereafter be erected or altered to exceed the maximum height, to occupy a greater percentage of lot area, to accommodate or house a greater number of families or to have narrower or smaller front yard, rear yard, side yard or other open space than is required for the district in which such building is located.
C. 
No part of a yard or other open space required about any building shall be included as part of a yard or other open space similarly required for another building.
D. 
No off-street parking or loading space required for one building or use shall be included as meeting, in whole or part, the off-street parking or loading space required for another building or use, except as provided in § 345-19B.
E. 
No off-street parking or loading space shall be so reduced in area that it does not meet the requirements of this chapter.
