§ 461-3 Zoning Map; interpretation of map and district boundaries.
A.
The aforesaid districts are hereby established by the designations, locations and boundaries thereof set forth and indicated on a map entitled the "City of Clifton, New Jersey, Zoning Map," dated May 1, 1979, which map, properly certified by the Mayor and the City Clerk, is hereby adopted as part of this chapter insofar as it indicates said designations, locations and boundaries.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in the office of the City Clerk, where it is available for examination during regular business hours.
B.
In construing the said map, the following rules shall apply:
(1)
Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, alleys, railroads, waterways or the boundary lines of parks or other publicly owned land, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(2)
Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following the lines of lots or other parcels of record and are not more than 10 feet distant therefrom, such lot or parcel lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(3)
Where a district boundary divides a parcel of land, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
(4)
In all cases where a district boundary line divides a lot, other than a through lot, in one ownership in such a way that 50% or more of such lot lies in the less restricted district, the regulations prescribed by this chapter for such less restricted district shall apply to such portion of the more restricted portion of said lot which was within 50 feet of such district boundary.
(5)
The administrative officer shall interpret the Zoning Map, and, in case of doubt, the district boundary line shall be determined by the Board of Adjustment.
