[Added 3-25-2010 by Ord. No. 2010-02]
The boundaries of said districts shall be shown upon an Official Zoning Map made a part of this chapter and documents and mapping as delineated in Article
XVIII, Floodplain Overlay, and Article
XIX, Steep Slope Overlay. The maps in Articles
XVIII and
XIX showing the limits of the F-P Floodplain Overlay and the S-S Steep Slope Overlay shall be considered overlay maps over the Official Zoning Map. The maps and all notations, references and other data shown thereon are hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter as if they were fully described herein.
Where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of
any district 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.
In case any uncertainty exists, the Zoning Hearing
Board shall interpret the intent of the Map as to location of district
boundaries.
In unsubdivided land where a district boundary
line divides a lot held in single and separate ownership, the following
rule shall apply:
A. The use of any district may extend over the portion
of the lot in any adjoining district a distance of not more than 50
feet beyond the district boundary, providing that such boundary extension
does not extend the lot frontage along a street.
