Flemington City Zoning Code

§ 2612

INTERPRETATION OF ZONING MAP.

A. 
Interpretation of Boundaries and Property Lines. Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow street centerlines, railroad rights-of-way, streams and lot or property lines as they exist on lots of record at the time of enactment of this Ordinance unless otherwise indicated by dimensions on the Zoning Map. Any dimensions shown shall be in feet and measured horizontally and, when measured from a street, shall be measured from the street right-of-way line even if the centerline of that street is used for the location of a zoning district line. The exact location of any disputed zoning district boundary line shall be determined by the Planning Board pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70b.
B. 
Construction. Where boundaries are not fixed by dimensions and where they approximately follow lot lines and where they do not scale more than 20 feet distant therefrom, the street centerlines, railroad rights-of-way, streams and lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C. 
Use of Scale. Where a zoning district boundary divides a lot, the location of the boundary, unless indicated by dimensions on the Zoning Map, shall be determined by use of the stated scale on the Map.
D. 
Applicability Within Each District. The zoning standards, controls and designations apply to every structure, lot and use within each district and the district line extends vertically in both directions, i.e. above and below grade.
