§ 295-8 interpretation of district boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists as to the locations of any boundaries shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
District boundary lines are intended to follow lot lines or the center line of streets, railroads, rights-of-way or watercourses, or be parallel or perpendicular thereto, unless such district boundary lines are indicated by dimensions shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where district boundary lines divide a lot or unsubdivided property, the location of any such boundary, if not indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by the use of the map scale appearing thereon.
C.
Where district boundary lines are indicated as approximately following the property lines of parks, other large public holdings or the boundaries of the Village, such property lines shall be construed to be the district boundary lines.
D.
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the edge of lakes, ponds, reservoirs or other bodies of water, the mean high water lines thereof shall be construed to be the district boundaries, except that the regulations of the most restrictive district on the edge of such a body of water shall apply to the area within the mean high water line and the body of water thereof. Unless otherwise designated on the Zoning Map, the regulations of the most restrictive district on the edge of the body of water shall apply to all land under the water.
E.
Any boundary extending into the Hudson River or other bodies of water bordering the Village shall be deemed to extend to the boundary of the Village, unless otherwise indicated.
F.
If the district classification of any land is in question, it shall be deemed to be in the most restrictive adjoining district.
G.
All distances and measurements, with the exception of height, shall be taken horizontally. Height measurements shall be taken vertically, or perpendicular to horizontal measurements.
§ 295-9 Lots in two or more districts.
Where a lot in one ownership of record is divided by one or more district boundary lines, the regulations for the less restrictive portion of such lots shall not extend into the more restricted portion of the lot.
§ 295-10 Order of restrictiveness.
For purposes of these regulations, where districts are referred to as being generally "more restrictive" or less restrictive" with respect to permitted uses and intensity of development, the designation shall refer to the order in which the districts are set forth in § 295-6, the first named being the most restrictive.
§ 295-11 Schedule controlling land and buildings.
A.
Purpose and adoption of schedule. To facilitate public understanding of this chapter and for the better administration thereof, the regulations governing the use of land and buildings and the location, arrangement height and minimum size of buildings, and other requirements, are set forth in the annexed schedule controlling land and buildings[1] for each of the districts established by § 295-6 of this chapter. That schedule (hereafter referred to as "the schedule") is hereby adopted and declared to be part of this chapter and may be amended in the same manner as any other part of this chapter. References in parentheses in the schedule do not constitute a part of this chapter. In the event of any conflict between the text of this chapter and the schedule, the text shall govern.

Editor's Note: See Appendix B, District Regulations Summary, included at the end of this chapter.
B.
Application of schedule.
(1)
All limitations for any district as to use, percentage of area, permissible height, required yards and minimum sizes thereof, minimum sizes of dwellings and all other requirements shall be those set forth in the schedule, which, in the case of each district named, shall be read across the schedule from left to right. Wherever in the schedule there appear the words "Same as in (symbol of district) above," those words shall be construed to include the specific limitations set forth in the same column for the district thus referred to. The listing of any use in the schedule either as being permitted in, or as being excluded from, any particular district shall be deemed to be an exclusion of that use from every other district, unless the use is expressly permitted in that other district under the language set forth in the schedule applying to that district.
(2)
No use of land or existing or proposed buildings or structures shall be permitted in the Village unless expressly listed on the schedule or interpreted as listed on the schedule by the Zoning Board of Appeals in cases of unclarity. All permitted uses shall conform with the standards as listed in the schedule and with additional standards and provisions which may exist elsewhere in this chapter, including but not limited to the provisions of site plan review and special use permits.
