The location and boundaries of said zoning districts are hereby
established on a map designated "Zoning Map of the City of Corning,"
which map is kept on file and will be available for public viewing
in the office of the City Clerk, and such map is hereby declared to
be part of this chapter.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any
of the aforesaid districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following
rules shall apply:
A. Center lines and right-of-way lines. Where district boundaries are
indicated as approximately following the center lines or right-of-way
lines of streets, highways, public utility easements or watercourses,
said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with such lines.
Such boundaries shall be deemed to be automatically moved if a center
line or right-of-way of such street, highway, public utility or watercourse
is moved not more than 20 feet.
B. Lot or boundary lines. Where district boundaries are indicated as
approximately following the City boundary line, property lines, lot
lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed to
be coincident with such lines or projections thereof.
C. Parallel to lot or boundary lines. Where district boundaries are
so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the City boundary
line, property lines, lot lines, right-of-way lines or projections
thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto
and at such distances therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map or
as shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning
Map.
D. In the event of a questionable district boundary, the questionable
boundary shall be referred to the Board of Zoning Appeals, and they
shall, to the best of their ability, establish the exact boundary.
E. The copy of the Zoning Map showing any such determinations under
this section shall be on file at the office of the City Clerk.
F. Precise zone boundary determinations made by the Zoning Board of
Appeals in accordance with the above rules shall be considered final
and conclusive and may only be altered by amendment of the Zoning
Map by the City Council.
G. Lots divided by zoning district lines. Where a lot is divided by
a district boundary line, the regulations for each respective district
shall apply, except:
(1) In all cases where a lot in one ownership, other than a through lot,
is divided by a district boundary so that 50% or more of such lot
lies in the less restricted district, the regulations prescribed for
such less restricted district shall apply to the more restricted portion
of said lot for a distance of 30 feet from the zoning district boundary.
For purposes of this chapter, the more restricted district shall be
deemed that district which is subject to regulations which prohibit
the particular use intended to be made of said lot or which regulations
set higher standards with respect to setback, coverage, yards, screening,
landscaping and similar requirements.
(2) In all cases where a district boundary line is located not farther
than 15 feet away from a lot line of record, the regulations applicable
to the greater part of the lot shall be deemed to apply to the entire
lot.
H. Buildings divided by zoning district lines. Where a district boundary
line divides a building existing on the effective date of this chapter
so that 50% or more of such building lies within the less restricted
district, the regulations prescribed by this chapter for such less
restricted district shall apply to the entire building. Such provisions
shall apply only if, and as long as, the building is in single ownership
and its structural characteristics prevent its use in conformity with
the requirements of each district.
I. Unless specifically stated in a resolution for annexation, any territory hereafter annexed shall automatically, upon such annexation, be classified as R1 Residential Low Density District and be subject to all conditions and regulations applicable to such zoning district, until review and approval have been completed in accordance with Article
XV.
