In all cases where a district boundary line divides a lot in one ownership and more than 50% of the area of the lot lies in the less restrictive district, the regulations prescribed by this chapter for the less restrictive district shall apply to such portion of the more restricted portion of the lot which lies within 30 feet of the district boundary. The regulations for the more restrictive district shall apply to the portion beyond the thirty-foot area. For purposes of this section, the Residential - Rural (RR) District is more restrictive than the Residential - 1 (R-1) District, the Residential - 1 (R-1) District is more restrictive than the Residential - 2 (R-2) District, etc., and residential districts are more restrictive than business or industrial districts.
