[Amended 6-17-1983 by L.L. No. 1-1983; 7-13-1983 by L.L. No.
2-1983]
The Village of Waterford is hereby divided into
the following zoning districts:
[Amended 2-13-2002 by L.L. No. 1-2002]
The locations and boundaries of the zoning districts
hereby established are shown on a map titled "Zoning Map of the Village
of Waterford, New York." This Zoning Map, with all notations, references
and other information shown thereon, is on file in the Village Clerk's
office. The Village Board shall cause to be delineated on the Zoning
Map by a qualified person all amendments to the district boundaries
which are authorized by law immediately upon the effective date of
such law, indicating the title and date of the law.
A.
Where uncertainty exists as to the location of any
boundaries shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
(1)
District boundary lines are intended to follow center
lines of streets or alleys, rights-of-way, watercourses or lot lines
or be parallel or perpendicular thereto, unless such boundary lines
are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Maps.
(2)
Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately
following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such
boundaries.
(3)
Where a district boundary divides a lot, the location
of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown
on the map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing
thereon, after accurate placement of the lot on the map is determined
to ensure accurate measurement by use of the scale.
B.
If, after the application of the foregoing rules,
uncertainty exists as to the exact location of a district boundary,
the Zoning Board of Appeals shall determine and fix the location of
said line.
C.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot of record
held in one ownership at the time of adoption of said district line,
the regulations for the less restricted portion of such lot shall
apply to the remainder of said lot up to a distance of not more than
50 feet from said district line.
D.
Any land hereafter annexed to or consolidated with
the Village of Waterford shall be deemed to be zoned in the Residence
District until said land is reclassified by an amendment to this chapter.
