The location and boundaries of said zoning districts
are shown on the map entitled "Zoning Map" certified by the Town Clerk as adopted. Said map, together
with everything shown thereon and all amendments thereto, is hereby
adopted and is declared to be an appurtenant part of this chapter.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to any
of the aforesaid districts, as shown on the Zoning Map, the following
rules shall apply:
A. Along center lines and right-of-way lines. Where district
boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines
or right-of-way lines of streets, highways or public utility easements
or facilities, said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident
with such lines. Said boundaries shall be deemed to automatically
be moved if a center line or right-of-way line of such street, highway
or public utility easement is moved a maximum of 50 feet.
B. Along lot or boundary lines. Where district boundaries
are indicated as approximately following the Town boundary line, property
lines, lot lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be
construed to be coincident with such lines or projections thereof.
C. Parallel to lot, boundary or street lines. Where district
boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to
the Town boundary line, street lines, property lines, lot lines, right-of-way
lines or center lines of public utility easements, lands or structures
and projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as being
parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as are indicated
on the Zoning Map or as shall be determined by the use of the scale
shown on the Zoning Map.
D. Watercourses. Where district boundaries are indicated
as following a river or stream, said boundaries shall be construed
to be coincident with the center line of such river or stream, and
said boundaries shall be deemed to be automatically moved if the main
channels of such streams or rivers are moved by natural or artificial
means up to a maximum of 50 feet.
E. Lots divided by zoning district lines. 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
restrictive portion of such lot shall extend no more than 30 feet
into the more restricted portion.
F. Use of map scale and existing physical markers. 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. Where a highway, street, railroad or public utility easement
center line or right-of-way line is coincident with a zoning boundary
line and varies from the actual on-the-ground physical monument or
mark, then such on-the-ground physical monument or mark shall determine
said zoning boundary.
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:
(1) Exceed the maximum height.
(2) Occupy a greater percentage of lot area.
(3) Accommodate or house a greater number of families.
(4) Have a 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 §
75-19B.
E. No off-street parking or loading space shall be so
reduced in area that it does not meet the requirements of this chapter.
