§ 500-304 Interpretation of boundaries.

[Ord. No. 1997-05, § IX, 9-9-1997]
A. 
Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow street centerlines, railroad rights-of-way, streams and lot or property lines as they exist on lots of record at the time of enactment of this chapter unless otherwise indicated by dimensions on the Zoning Map. The determination of the applicable zoning district shall be made on the basis of the zoning district along the abutting street. If there is more than one abutting street, then the zoning district line shall be determined by the Planning Board under its authority to interpret the Zoning Map.
B. 
Any dimensions shown on the Zoning Map are in feet and are measured horizontally and, when measured from a street, are measured from the street right-of-way line even if the centerline of that street is used for the location of the zoning district line.
C. 
The exact location of any disputed zoning district boundary line shall be determined by the Planning Board.
D. 
The zoning standards, controls and designations apply to every structure, lot and use within each district and the district lines extend vertically in both directions from ground level.
