The boundaries of all zone districts set forth in this chapter shall be shown on a map entitled "Zoning Map, North Brunswick Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey." Such map is hereby made a part of this chapter.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is included in a pocket at the end of this chapter.
A. 
The schedule of regulations applying to each zoning district, entitled "Schedule of Area", Yard and Building Requirements" (hereafter called the "schedule"), is hereby declared to be a part of this chapter and is attached hereto.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Schedule of Area, Yard and Building Requirements is included at the end of this chapter.
B. 
The schedule is intended to summarize the major regulations by zoning district, including those applying to lot size, yards, building heights, and other regulations that may be easily summarized in tabular form. It is not meant to provide comprehensive coverage of all requirements and provisions of this chapter. Areas and dimensions therein are minimum requirements.
Zone boundary lines are intended to follow the center line of the streets, railroad rights-of-way, electric transmission line rights-of-way, watercourses, existing lot or property lines or municipal boundary lines, all as shown on the Zoning Map, but where a zone boundary line does not follow such a line, its position is shown on said Zoning Map by a specific dimension expressing its distance in feet from a street line or other boundary line as indicated. If a zone boundary line falls within 20 feet of a lot line existing at the time or passage of this chapter, then the lot line shall be considered the zone boundary. In the event that the zone boundary is unclear, the exact location of the zone boundary line shall be decided by the Department of Planning and Development and may be appealed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Where a zone boundary line divides one or more lots which are in single ownership at the time of passage of this chapter, any use authorized in either district on such lot or lots may extend not more than 50 feet beyond the boundary line of the district in which such use is permitted. The use so extended shall be deemed to be conforming.
