Sec. 36-58. - Interpretation of district boundaries.

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of zoning districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

Unless otherwise specifically indicated, where district boundaries are shown on the zoning map as approximately parallel or following the centerlines of streets, highways, utility easements, or streambeds, or such line extended, then such lines shall be construed to be such district boundaries.

(2)

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.

(3)

Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single ownership, the requirements for the district in which the greater portion of the lot lies shall be extended to the balance of the lot, provided that such extension shall not include any part of such lot which lies more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary, and further provided that the remaining parcel shall not be less than the minimum required for the district in which it is located.

(4)

Where any public street is hereafter officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to parcels of abutting property shall apply to that portion of such street or alley thereto by virtue of such vacation or abandonment.

(5)

The board of adjustment shall be empowered to interpret the intent of the zoning map as to the location of district boundaries in case any further uncertainty exists.
