§ 221-9 Interpretation of district boundaries.
A.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any zoning district, as shown on the Official City of Ogdensburg Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
(1)
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(2)
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines of roads or highways, or highway right-of-way lines, such center lines or right-of-way lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(3)
Where the boundary of a district follows a river, stream, lake or other body of water, said boundary shall be deemed to run down the center line of such body of water between mean high water levels.
(4)
Where the boundary of a district appears to follow a utility easement, such boundary shall be deemed to be located in the middle of such easement.
B.
In cases where the preceding rules do not clarify the true district boundary line, the Zoning Administration Officer shall render a determination, which may be appealed to the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Zoning Administration Officer or the Planning Board may request the Zoning Board of Appeals to interpret the spirit and intent of this chapter to render a determination on any specific case.

Lots divided by zoning districts.
[Amended 10-24-2011 by Ord. No. 4-2011]
(1)
Whenever a single lot two acres or less in size is located within two or more different zoning districts, the district regulation applicable to the district within which the larger portion of the lot lies shall apply to the entire lot, provided that the combined lot does not span a public right-of-way. If the combined lot spans a public right-of-way, the district regulation applicable to the district within the larger portion of the lot lies shall only apply if the total lot size is one acre or less.
(2)
Whenever a single lot greater than two acres in size is located within two or more different zoning districts, each portion of that lot shall be subject to all the regulations applicable to the district in which it is located, if the combined lot does not span a public right-of-way. If the combined lot does span a public right-of-way, each portion of that lot shall be subject to all the regulations applicable to the district in which it is located if the total lot size is one acre or less. Dimensions of each portion of the lot shall be determined by the use of scale shown on the official City of Ogdensburg Zoning Map.
