A.
The titles of the districts have been created to be
as informational as possible. For example, in the case of the R1-20
District, the "R" refers to Residence, the "1" refers to one-family,
and the "20" refers to the minimum required lot area of 20,000 square
feet. In multifamily residence districts, the maximum permitted floor
area ratio (FAR) is the descriptive term used to indicate the differing
characteristics among districts. For example in the case of the RMF-0.4
District, the "RMF" refers to multifamily residence and the "0.4"
represents the floor area ratio regulation which is used to control
the density of development. The numbering following the Planned Waterfront
Development District name refers to the height of the structure in
stories.
B.
For nonresidence districts the classifications reflect
the character of existing development, such as Downtown Mixed-Use
(DMU) and the Downtown Mixed Use Urban Renewal (DMUR) District.
[Amended 12-11-2007 by Ord. No. 294-2007]
[Amended 5-19-2005 by Ord. No. 120-2005]
The boundaries of all districts are hereby established
as shown on a map entitled "Zoning Map, City of New Rochelle, New
York," dated May 19, 2005, as it may be amended from time to time
with ordinance numbers and ordinance adoption dates shown on such
Map, which Map accompanies and, with all explanatory matter thereon,
is made part of this chapter. The official copy of this Map shall
be kept by the Building Official and amendments thereto shall be reviewed
for accuracy by the Building Official, with copies made available
to the public by the City Clerk. Whenever the City Council amends
the Zoning Map, the City Clerk shall notify the Building Official,
who shall cause the amendment to be made to the official Zoning Map.
Where uncertainty exists as to the locations
of any boundaries shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall
apply:
A.
District boundary lines follow lot lines, streets,
municipal boundaries, rights-of-way, railroad rights-of-way or watercourses,
or are parallel or perpendicular thereto, unless such district boundary
lines are fixed by dimensions, as shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where district boundaries are shown approximately
following streets, rights-of-way, railroad rights-of-way or watercourses,
the center lines thereof shall be such boundaries.
C.
Where district boundaries are shown approximately
following municipal boundaries or lot lines, such municipal boundaries
or lot lines shall be the district boundaries.
D.
Where district boundary lines divide a lot, the location
of any such boundary, if not indicated by dimensions, shall be determined
by use of the map scale appearing thereon.
E.
If the district classification of any property is
in question, it shall be deemed to be in the most restrictive adjoining
district.
F.
In all cases where a district boundary is located
not farther than 15 feet from a lot line of record, the boundary shall
be construed to coincide with such line. 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 zoning districts are referred to as more restrictive or less restrictive, the designations shall refer to the order in which the districts are named in § 331-5, the first named being the most restrictive.
Where a lot in one ownership of record is divided
by one or more district boundary lines, the following shall apply:
