The Village is hereby divided into zones or districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, which, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby adopted and declared to be a part of this chapter.[1]

The Official Zoning Map and any subsequent amendments thereto shall be identified by the signature of the Municipal Clerk under the following words: "This is to certify that this is the Official Zoning Map adopted as a part of Local Law No. _____ of the Village of Canisteo, State of New York, and amended as a part of Local Law No._____, dated _____."

Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines or right-of-way lines of streets, highways, public utility easements or watercourses, said boundaries shall be deemed to be automatically moved if a center line or right-of-way line of such street, highway, public utility or watercourse is moved a maximum of 50 feet.

Where district boundaries are indicated that they approximately parallel the Village boundary line, property lines, lot lines, right-of-way lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as being coincident thereto or parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map or as shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.

Where a district boundary line divides a lot in a single or joint ownership of record at the time such line is established, the regulations for the less restricted portion shall apply.

In all other cases where not dimensioned, the location of boundaries shown on the map shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon, but in no instance will a district depth be less than the specified minimum lot depth shown for each district in the Zoning Schedule.[1]

Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map or in other cases not covered herein, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall interpret the boundaries.
