In the event that the Ontario County Planning Department cannot for any reason make such modification to the Town Zoning Map, the Town Board shall take such action as is required to effectuate the modification to the Town Zoning Map as expeditiously as possible.

Center lines and right-of-way lines. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines or right-of-way lines of streets, highways, public utility easements or watercourses, said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with such lines. Such boundaries shall be deemed to be automatically moved if a center line or right-of-way of such street, highway, public utility or watercourse is moved not more than 20 feet.

Lot or boundary lines. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the Town boundary line, property lines, lot lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed to be coincident with such lines or projections thereof.

Parallel to lot or boundary lines. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the Town boundary line, property lines, lot lines, right-of-way lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map or as shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.

District boundaries shall be determined by use of an accurate scale which shall be shown on the Zoning Map. In no instance shall a district boundary be set at less than the minimum lot depth required in the Schedule of Regulations which is set out as Attachment 1 to this chapter.

In the event of a questionable district boundary, the issue of the questionable boundary shall be referred to the Zoning Board of Appeals, and it shall, to the best of its ability, establish the exact boundary. Decisions by the Zoning Board of Appeals with respect to use district boundary interpretations shall be in writing and filed with the Town Clerk and the Town Code Enforcement Officer within 10 days of such decision being made.

The copy of the Zoning Map showing any such determinations under this section shall be on file at the office of the Town Clerk together with use district boundary interpretations made by the Zoning Board of Appeals.

Precise use district boundary determinations made by the Zoning Board of Appeals in accordance with the above rules shall be considered final and conclusive and may only be altered by amendment of the Zoning Map by the Town Board or pursuant to Article 78 proceedings.

Lots divided by zoning district lines. Where a lot is divided by a zoning district boundary line, the regulations for each respective district shall apply, except:

Buildings divided by zoning district lines. Where a district boundary line divides a building existing on the effective date of this section so that 50% or more of such building lies within the less-restricted district, the regulations prescribed by this chapter for such less restricted district (as defined in Subsection H above) shall apply to the entire building. Such provisions shall apply only if and as long as the building is in single ownership and its structural characteristics prevent its use in conformity with the requirements of each separate district.
