Zoning districts. For the purpose of this chapter, the Town of Dover is hereby divided into zoning districts as follows:

Zoning Map.[2] The boundaries of these districts are hereby established as shown on the map entitled "Zoning Map, Town of Dover, Morris County, New Jersey," prepared by Michael A. Hantson, PE, PP, CME, Town Engineer and Planner, revision B., dated January 8, 2018, which accompanies and is hereby made part of this chapter.

Interpretation of boundaries. District boundary lines are intended to follow street center lines, watercourses and lot or property lines as they exist at the time of enactment of this chapter unless otherwise indicated by dimensions of the Zoning Map. The exact location of any disputed district boundary line shall be determined by the Board of Adjustment.

Division of a lot in single ownership. Where a district boundary line divides one or more lots which are in a single ownership at the time of the passage of this chapter, any use authorized in either district on such lot or lots may extend not more than 50 feet beyond the boundary line of the district in which such use is authorized. The uses so extended shall be deemed to be conforming.

Vacation of streets or other public ways. Where a vacated right-of-way was bounded on either side by more than one district, the former center line of such right-of-way shall determine the extension of each district. Hence the zoning districts adjoining the side of such districts of such public way shall be extended to the center line to include the right-of-way thus vacated.
