Where uncertainty exists with respect to the
boundaries of any of the aforesaid zoning districts as shown on the
Zoning District Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Where the district boundaries are indicated as approximately
following the center lines or rights-of-way lines of streets, highways,
public utilities or watercourses, said boundaries shall be construed
to be coincident with such lines. Such boundaries shall be deemed
to be automatically adjusted if a center line or right-of-way line
of such street, highway, public utility or watercourse is moved a
maximum distance of 50 feet by action of a person other than the owner
of the affected land area.
B. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
parallel to the Town boundary line, property lines, lot lines, right-of-way
lines, or projections thereof, the boundaries shall be construed as
being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated
on the Zoning District Map or as shall be determined by uses of the
scale shown on said map.
C. Where a district boundary divides a single lot in
either single or joint ownership of record at the time such line is
established, the regulations for the less restricted portion of such
lot may, at the owners' discretion and with the exception of the Flood-Fringe
Overlay (FF-O) District, extend not more than 50 feet into the more
restricted portion, provided that the lot has street or highway frontage
in the less restricted district and providing that all other requirements
of this chapter, including extraordinary setbacks or buffers which
may be required between certain uses, are wholly met.
D. In all other cases, where dimensions are not shown
on the Zoning District Map, the location of the boundaries shown on
said map shall be determined by use of the scale appearing thereon.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this chapter:
A. No building, structure or land shall hereafter be
used or occupied and no building or structure or part thereof shall
hereafter be erected, moved, altered, reconstructed or enlarged for
any purpose except in conformance with the regulations herein specified
for the zoning district in which it is located.
B. No part of a yard or other open space required in
connection with any building or use shall be included as part of a
yard or other open space similarly required for another building.
C. No yard or lot existing at the time of the adoption of this chapter shall be reduced in size or area below the minimum requirements set forth herein. Yards of lots created after the effective date of this chapter shall meet the minimum requirements established by this chapter, with any such lots further established in full accordance with the requirements of the Chapter
192, Subdivision of Land.
D. No off-street parking or loading space required for
one building or use shall be included as meeting, in whole or in part,
the off-street parking or loading space required for another building
or use except as otherwise provided for in this chapter.
E. No off-street parking or loading space shall be so
reduced in area that it does not meet the minimum requirements of
this chapter.
F. Except as otherwise specifically provided by Article
V, §
210-32, of this chapter in the case of a residential cluster development or in the limited instance of a bed-and-breakfast establishment or a boarding stable on certain single-family residential premises, there shall be no more than one principal building or use and its permitted accessory structures or uses on any one lot within any residential district.
G. In any nonresidential district, more than one principal permitted use or special permit use may be allowed in the same building and more than one principal building may be allowed per lot provided that the building or buildings and the uses comply in all respects with the minimum standards set forth in the District Schedule of Area and Bulk Regulations found at Article
IV, §
210-11, of this chapter, and site plan approval has been granted by the Planning Board for the building or buildings and uses in accordance with the requirements and procedures found in Article
VII, §§
210-61 through
210-66, of this chapter.
H. No yard, as required herein, shall be used for the
open or unenclosed storage of merchandise, equipment, building materials,
junk, vehicles, vehicle parts or any other material or for the placement
of signs or accessory structures except as special provision is made
therefor within this chapter.
I. No new driveway shall be constructed except in conformance
with the requirements specified herein, including the criteria for
the design and construction of residential driveways, and no existing
driveway shall be modified except so as to become either fully, or
more nearly, in conformance with said requirements.
[Amended 10-9-2003 by L.L. No. 5-2003]
J. Within each district, the requirements set forth by
this chapter shall be considered minimum regulations and shall apply
uniformly to each kind of building, structure or land and the use
thereof.
