The zoning map which accompanies this chapter is declared to be part thereof and the zones designated on said map are established as the zone designations of the borough of Califon.

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 the ordinance codified in this title unless otherwise indicated by dimensions on the zoning map.

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 boundary line.

The exact location of any disputed zoning district boundary line shall be determined by the planning board acting in its capacity as the zoning board of adjustment.

The zoning standards, controls and designations apply to every structure, lot and use within each zoning district and the zoning district boundary lines extend vertically in both directions from ground level.
