Interpretation of zoning districts

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of zoning districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

• • A. Where zoning districts are separated by highways, streets, alleys, watercourses or bodies of water, the boundaries of said zoning districts shall be construed to be the centerline or middle of said highway, street, alley, watercourse or body of water.

  • B. Boundaries shown as approximately following lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.

  • C. Boundaries shown as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines, and in the event of a change in shoreline, [such change] shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.

  • D. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in the above subsection C shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.

  • E. Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground differ from those shown on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by the above subsections, the zoning board of review shall interpret zoning district boundaries.
