The Town of Foxborough is divided into zoning districts, as
provided herein and as shown on the Zoning Map entitled "Zoning Map,
Foxborough, Mass.," dated November 26, 1990, as amended from time
to time, which, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby
declared to be part of these bylaws. Said Zoning Map shall be the
official record of zoning status of areas within the Town.
2.3.1.
Supplemental maps. The supplemental maps indicated below are
hereby adopted and, with others that may hereafter be officially adopted
for special purposes indicated, shall have the same force and effect
as the Zoning Map and are included as a part of the Zoning Map:
The locations and boundaries of districts shall be as shown
on the Zoning Map and supplemental maps as amended and as are on file
with the Town Clerk.
2.4.1.
Right-of-way. Where boundaries are indicated in the right-of-way
of streets or watercourses, such boundaries shall be the center line
of the right-of-way.
2.4.2.
Property lines. Where boundaries approximately follow property
lines and are not more than 25 feet therefrom, the property line shall
be the district boundary.
2.4.3.
Parallel to street or road. Where boundaries are parallel to
a street or road and are fixed by dimensions on the Zoning Map, the
distances shall be measured from the right-of-way line where a plan
is on file with the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds or, in the absence
of such plan, from a line parallel to and 25 feet from the center
line of the traveled way.
2.4.4.
Scale. Where distances are not specified on the Zoning Map nor
otherwise determined from the above provisions, the scale of the Zoning
Map shall be used to determine the location of the district boundary.
2.4.5.
Undefined boundaries. The determination of boundaries in question
not defined herein or on the Zoning Map shall lie with the Board of
Appeals.
2.4.6.
Split lots. Where a lot is transected by a zoning district boundary,
the regulations of these bylaws applicable to the larger part of the
area of such lot may also, at the option of the lot owner, be deemed
to govern in the smaller part beyond such zoning district boundary
but not to exceed 30 linear feet beyond such zoning district boundary,
if the smaller part has frontage on an accepted way.
