A. Zoning Map. The boundaries of these districts are
hereby established as shown on the map entitled "Zoning Map of the
City of Rye, New York," which accompanies and is hereby made a part
of this chapter. The district boundary lines are intended in the main to
follow lot lines as they existed on the effective date of this section,
but where such a boundary line obviously does not coincide with the
lot lines, or where it is not the center line of a railroad right-of-way
or of a street or watercourse or the shoreline of a body of water,
or where it is not located by dimensions shown on the map, its position
shall be as shown on the map by scaled measurement. Where a right-of-way,
street or watercourse is shown as a district boundary line, the center
line is intended to be the boundary line. If the district classification
of any land is in question, it shall be deemed to be in the most restricted
adjoining district. The district classification of any water area
within the City of Rye inshore from the mean low-tide line on the
effective date of this section shall be deemed to be the same as the
classification of the adjoining land area; and the district area extending
outward from the shore beyond the said mean low-tide line shall be
"R-1."
B. Parking Districts Map. The boundaries of the parking
districts are established as shown on the map entitled "Parking Districts
Map," which accompanies and is made part of this chapter.
