Editor's Note: This ordinance was readopted and ratified 3-20-2024 by Ord. No. 2336-24.
The location and boundaries of said districts are hereby established on the map entitled, "Zoning Map, Borough of Hawthorne, New Jersey," prepared by Burgis Associates, dated November 16, 2015, revised through October 10, 2022, which is included as an attachment to this chapter and is hereby declared to be part hereof.
A. 
The zone boundary lines are intended generally to follow lot or property lines as they exist on the Tax Assessment Map at the time of the passage of this chapter, unless such zone boundary lines are fixed by dimensions or notations shown on the Zoning Map or are specifically described in Appendix B and C attached to and made a part of this chapter.[1] Where there is or may be an apparent conflict between the Zoning Map, notations thereon and Appendix B and C, the provisions of Appendix B and C shall govern, and in the event that no provision for such boundary line is made in Appendix B and C, then the notations on said Zoning Map shall govern. Where the disputed boundary line is not described in either Appendix B and C or in a notation on the Zoning Map, the Zoning Map, interpreted as herein provided, shall govern.
[1]
Editor's Note: Said appendixes are on file in the office of the Borough Clerk.
B. 
Unless otherwise specifically provided, where any lot is divided by a zone boundary with more than 50% but less than 75% of said lot falling within the zone shown on the front portion of said lot, then, for purposes of said lot, the zone boundary shall be considered an imaginary line extending from the lot lines of adjacent lots in the same zone.
C. 
In any case of uncertainty or disagreement as to the true location of any zone boundary line, the determination thereof shall lie with the Zoning Board, which shall hear and decide all questions of interpretation of the Zoning Map in the same manner and under the same procedures, including notice and public hearing, as applicable in cases of other hearings within the jurisdiction of the Zoning Board.
