Mount Arlington City Zoning Code
§ 17-27.3
Interpretation of Boundaries.
a.
Designation of Zone Boundaries.
(1)
The zone boundary lines are intended generally to follow the centerlines of streets; the centerlines of railroad rights-of-way; existing lot lines; the centerlines of rivers, streams and other waterways; and municipal boundary lines.
(2)
Where 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. Except as provided in paragraph c below, in cases of uncertainty or disagreement as to the true location of any zone boundary line, the determination thereof shall be with the Planning Board under the provisions of the Land Development Chapter.
c.
Boundary line to coincide with lot line.
(1)
If a zone boundary line falls within 20 feet of a lot line existing at the time of passage of this Chapter, then the lot line shall be considered the zone boundary line.
(2)
In the event a zone boundary line divides one or more lots, other than as provided in paragraph (1) above, then all area, bulk, yard, buffer and any other dimension requirements specified in this Chapter for that particular zone shall be met only within that zone.
