[Ord. No. 1-01; Ord. No. 9-13; amended 12-19-2023 by Ord. No. O-25-2023; 10-22-2024 by Ord. No. O-12-2024]
In determining the boundaries of districts shown on the Zoning Map of the Borough of North Caldwell, dated September 6, 2024, delineating the boundaries of the above districts, which map is incorporated herein and made a part hereof by reference, the following rules shall apply:
A. Zone boundary lines are established to follow the center lines of streets, electric transmission line rights-of-way, watercourses, existing lot or property lines or municipal boundary lines, all as shown on the Zoning Map.
B. Where a zone boundary line does not follow such a line and its position is determined by the Zoning Board of Adjustment, after hearing on notice, to be 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.
C. In the event that the zone boundary is unclear, the exact location of the zone boundary line shall be decided by the Zoning Officer, whose decision may be appealed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
D. Where a zone boundary line divides one or more lots which are in single ownership at the time of the passage of this chapter, any authorized use in either district of such lot or lots may extend not more than 50 feet beyond the boundary line of the district in which the use is permitted. The use so extended shall be deemed conforming.
Note: The Zoning Map can be found on file in the Borough Offices.
