The boundaries of the districts are hereby established
as shown on the zoning map attached hereto and made a part hereof
and entitled the "Georgetown Zoning Map," which shall be on file in
the office of the Town of Georgetown, which map with all explanatory
matter contained thereon shall be deemed to accompany, be and is hereby
made a part of this chapter as though fully set out herein. The Town
of Georgetown Zoning Map, together with subsequent applicable amendments,
shall be conclusive as to the current zoning status of land within
the corporate limits of the Town of Georgetown.
Drafting errors or omissions from the Zoning
Map may be corrected, but no changes in the boundaries of any district
shall be made except to show properly adopted amendments.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the
boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the
following rules shall govern:
A.
In cases where a boundary line is given a position
within a street or alley, easement, canal, navigable or nonnavigable
stream, it shall be deemed to be in the center of the right-of-way
of the street, alley, easement, canal or stream, and if the actual
location of such street, alley, easement, canal or stream varies slightly
as shown on the District Map, the actual location shall control.
B.
In cases where a boundary line is shown as being located
a specific distance from a street line or other physical feature,
such distance shall control.
C.
Where the district boundaries as shown on the Zoning
Map approximately coincide with lot lines, the lot lines shall be
construed to be the boundary line of the district unless otherwise
indicated.
D.
In cases where the boundaries of any district as shown
on the Zoning Map do not coincide or approximately coincide with street
lines, alley lines or lot lines and no dimensions are shown, the location
of the boundary line of such district shall be determined by the use
of a scale appearing on the Zoning Map.
E.
Whenever any street, alley or other public way is
vacated in the manner authorized by law, the district adjoining each
side of such street, alley or public way shall automatically be extended
to the center of such vacation, and all area included in the vacation
shall then and henceforth be subject to all the regulations of the
extended districts.
F.
Where the boundary of a district follows a railroad
line, such boundary shall be deemed to be located midway between the
main tracts of the railroad line.
