Zone Boundaries

105. Zone Boundaries Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of the zoning districts as shown on the Official Zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

• A. Zone boundaries are generally intended to follow lot lines.

• B. Zone boundaries, where indicated, are the center lines of streets, parkways, waterways, or railroad rights-of-way.

• C. Where the street layout on the ground varies from the layout as shown on the zoning map(s), the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall interpret said map according to the reasonable intent of this Ordinance.

• D. Where the zone boundary divides a lot so that more than 50 percent of the lot area is in a more restrictive zone, the provisions of this Ordinance relating to the more restrictive zone shall be extended to the entire lot by a Special Use Permit from the Zoning Board of Review.

• E. Where the zone boundary divides a lot so that 50 percent or more of the lot area is in a less restrictive zone, the provisions of this Ordinance relating to the less restrictive zone can be extended to the entire lot by a Special Use Permit from the Zoning Board of Review.

• F. Where a zone boundary is indicated as being a certain depth in feet from a street, the zoning boundary shall be measured from the nearest edge of the street right of way.

• G. Where the location of a zoning boundary is unclear, the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall make a determination as to the location of the boundary. This determination by the Zoning Enforcement Officer may be appealed to the Board.
