§ 500-6 Adoption of Zoning Map.
The boundaries for each district listed as part of this chapter are the boundaries indicated for the district by the map entitled the "Official Zoning Map of the Town of Chili." The Official Zoning Map is on file with the Town of Chili, Town Clerks Office, and may be amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions contained in this chapter.
§ 500-7 Location of Zoning Map; changes to map.
There shall exist only one Official Zoning Map, which shall be kept in the office of the Town Clerk, and it shall bear the Seal of the Town of Chili, a certification that it is the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Chili and its date of adoption. Said Zoning Map shall be on material suitable for reproduction by a dry diazo copier or equivalent process. Copies of this map which may from time to time be published and distributed would be accurate only as of the date of their printing and shall bear words to that effect. Changes made in district boundaries or other matters portrayed on the Zoning Map under the provisions of this chapter shall be permanently affixed to the Zoning Map promptly after the amendment has been approved by the Town Board and shall convey information as to the date and nature of the change. No amendment to this chapter which involves matter portrayed on the Zoning Map shall become effective until such change and entry has been made on said map and has been attested by the Town Clerk. Should the Zoning Map become damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret because of the changes and additions, the Town Board may by resolution adopt a new Zoning Map to supersede the former map. The new Zoning Map shall bear a statement which explains that it supersedes the prior map and gives the dates of adoption of both the prior map and the new Zoning Map. If possible, the prior map and the records of its adoption and amendments shall be preserved.
§ 500-8 Interpretation of boundaries.
In making a determination where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on said Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply and be interpreted or applied by the Planning Board:
A.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center line or right-of-way line of streets, alleys, highways, railroads or streams, such lines shall be construed to be such district boundaries.
B.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries. If a district boundary divides a lot into two or more districts, the entire lot shall be placed in the district that accounts for the greater area of the lot, provided that the boundary adjustment is not more than a distance of 20 feet. If an adjustment of more than 20 feet is required or if one of the zones in question is a Floodway District (FW), then any change in the district boundary shall be treated as a change in the zone and must comply with Article X of this chapter.
D.
Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated in the manner authorized by law, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of the former right-of-way, and all of the area included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts. In the event that none of the above rules is applicable, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimension on the map, shall be determined by the Planning Board.
