§ 175-5.3 Interpretation of boundaries.

A. 
Designation of zone boundaries. The zone boundary lines are intended generally to follow the center lines of streets; the center lines of railroad rights-of-way; existing lot lines; the center lines of rivers, streams and other waterways; and municipal boundary lines. When a district boundary line does not follow such a line, its position shall be shown on the Zoning Map by a specific dimension expressing its distance, in feet, from a street line or other boundary line as indicated.
B. 
Determination of doubtful lines. In cases of uncertainty or disagreement as to the true location of any zone boundary line, the determination thereof shall lie with the jurisdiction of the Board of Adjustment.
C. 
Split-zone lots. Where one or more district boundary lines pass through a lot which is the subject of an application for development, causing a circumstance commonly referred to as split-lot zoning or a split-zone lot, the applicant must comply with the requirements of each zone affecting the lot in accordance with the intersection of those zone district boundaries with the lot in question. Any deviation from the requirements of one or more zone districts affecting the lot shall require relief from the Planning Board or the Zoning Board of Adjustment according to the Municipal Land Use Law.[1]
[Amended 4-25-2023 by Ord. No. 12-2023]
