Lakehurst City Zoning Code
§ 25-30.3
Zone Boundaries.
[Ord. No. 11/78; Ord. No. 5/24/82 § 1403]
a.
Zone boundaries are intended to follow street, lot lines, hypothetical extensions of lot lines, property lines, or other natural lines such as centerlines of water courses, ditches, unless such district or zone boundary is fixed by dimensions on the Zoning Map or by description and shall include lands acquired by accretion or stream diversion by natural causes.
b.
Where a zone boundary fixed by dimension on the Zoning Map approximately follows and is not more than 20 feet from a lot line, such lot line shall be construed to be the zone boundary.
c.
In unsubdivided land and where a zone boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
d.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following municipality limits shall be construed as following municipal limits.
e.
Where a zoning lot is located primarily in one district and in part in another zoning district, the entire zoning lot or portion thereof located in the neighboring zone may be used for a purpose permitted in either zone upon application for a conditional use permit and upon determining by the Planning Board that the following standards and conditions are met:
1.
The use contemplated can best be established by utilizing the portion of the zoning lot in the neighboring zone district without materially affecting the adjoining areas.
2.
The site plan shall be appropriate to the adjoining area.
3.
A set of plans, specifications and plot plans shall be filed in triplicate with the Planning Board showing overall dimensions, topographical conditions, the location and intended use of existing and proposed buildings, the relationship of the proposed use to the streets and adjacent property and other physical features which might act as a deterrent to the general welfare.
f.
Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map, or in other circumstances not covered by subsections above, the Board of Adjustment shall interpret the district boundaries.
