(a)

For the purpose of this ordinance the City of New Haven is divided into the following districts:

(b)

The boundaries of these districts are hereby established as shown on the City of New Haven Zoning Map (consisting of a series of section maps, numbered 1 to 21, at a scale of one-inch equals 200 feet), which accompanies and is hereby declared to be a part of this ordinance. The official copy of said map is prepared in a digital format, stored in the City's Geographic Information System, reproduced and placed on file in the office of the City Clerk and at the City Plan Department, and may be viewed in those offices during normal working hours. Said map, with all subsequent amendments thereto, supersedes all prior zoning maps of the City of New Haven.

(c)

Where any uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any district as shown on said map the following rules shall apply:

(1)

Where boundary lines are indicated as following streets and alleys, they shall be construed as following the centerlines thereof;

(2)

Where boundary lines are indicated as approximately following lot lines and the extensions of lot lines, such lot lines and extensions of lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries;

(3)

Where a boundary line divides a lot or crosses unsubdivided property, the location of such boundary shall be measured on a copy of said map at a scale appropriate to determine the boundary line;

(4)

Where further uncertainty exists, the City Plan Commission, upon written application, shall by resolution determine the location of a disputed boundary, giving due consideration, among other things, to the apparent indicated location thereof, the scale of said map, and the expressed purposes of the zoning ordinance; and

(5)

Wherever any property is not under these rules specifically included in any district shown on said map, such property is hereby declared to be in the most restrictive district abutting such property on said map, or, if no district so abuts such property, then in an RS-1 District.
