The boundaries of each of the Districts listed in Section 50-10 are hereby established as shown upon the Zoning Map of the City of New Britain, dated December 12, 1966 which accompanies this Ordinance, and which, with all notations, references, and other matter shown thereon, is hereby declared to be part of this Ordinance.

The District boundary lines, unless shown otherwise, are intended generally to follow street center lines, railroad rights-of-way boundary lines or their center lines, other similar rights-of-way lines, or lot lines or boundaries of subdivisions, or City boundary lines, all as shown on the Zoning Map. Where a District boundary line does not follow such a line, but is shown parallel to such a line on the Zoning Map, the distance between the parallel lines shall be as dimensioned on the Zoning Map. Such dimensions shall be construed to read from the outside edge of all rights-of-way rather than from their centerlines.

Where the street layout actually on the ground varies from the street layout as shown on the Zoning Map, the designation shown on the mapped streets shall be applied in such a way as to carry out the judgment of the Director of Licenses, Permits and Inspections as to the purpose and intent of the Zoning Map for the particular area in question. [Approved 1-13-03, Item #27215-2].

When the location of a District boundary line cannot be otherwise determined, the determination thereof shall be made by the Director of Licenses, Permits and Inspections by scaling the distance on the Zoning Map from a line of known location to such District boundary line. [Approved 1-13-03, Item #27215-2]

In the case of uncertainty as to the true location of a District boundary line in a particular instance, an appeal may be taken to the Zoning Board of Appeals, as provided in Section 270-30.

When a District boundary line divides a lot in a single ownership at the effective date of this Ordinance or any subsequent amendment thereto, the Zoning Board of Appeals may permit extension into one District of a lawful conforming use existing in the other District, as hereinafter provided in Section 270-50-40.10.

The District boundary descriptions contained in the Zoning Ordinances adopted September 16, 1925, and shown on the Building Zone Map that formed a part thereof, both as amended, revised and re-enacted from time to time, are hereby superseded in their entirety by the provisions of this Section 50 and by the Zoning Map of the City of New Britain dated December 12, 1966, which forms a part of this Ordinance.
