A.
Zoning Map. The boundaries of each of the districts listed in § 300-5 are hereby established as shown upon the duly adopted Zoning Map which accompanies this chapter, and which, with all notations, references, and other matters shown thereon, is hereby declared a part of this chapter.
B.
Interpretation.
(1)
Generally. The district boundary lines, unless shown otherwise, are
intended generally to follow street center lines, railroad right-of-way
boundary lines or their center lines, other similar right-of-way lines,
or lot lines or boundaries of subdivisions, or Village boundary lines,
all as shown on the Zoning Map. Where a district boundary line does
not follow such a line, but is shown parallel to such a line on the
Zoning Map, the distance between the parallel lines shall be as dimensioned
on the Zoning Map. Such dimensions shall be construed to read from
the outside edge of all rights-of-way rather than from their center
lines.
(2)
Inaccurate street layouts. Where the street layout actually on the
ground varies from the street layout as shown on the Zoning Map, the
designation shown on the mapped streets shall be applied in such a
way as to carry out the purpose and intent of the Zoning Map for the
particular area in question.
(3)
Scaling. When the location of a district boundary line cannot be
otherwise determined, the determination thereof shall be made by scaling
the distance on the Zoning Map from a line of known location to such
district boundary line.
(4)
Interpretation by Board of Appeals. In the case of uncertainty as
to the true location of a district boundary line in a particular instance,
an appeal may be taken to the Board of Appeals, as provided in this
chapter.
(5)
Division of lot. When a district boundary line divides a lot in a
single ownership at the effective date of this chapter or any subsequent
amendment thereto, the Board of Appeals may permit extension into
one district of a lawful conforming use existing in the other district,
as hereinafter provided.
