If any land within the corporate boundaries of the Town, or within the jurisdiction of the Town to regulate, is not zoned within one of the enumerated districts, no permit shall issue for the use of the land or for the erection or alteration of any structure on such land until zoned.

§ 475-15 Ownership divided by boundary lines.
[Amended 1981 by Ord. No. 85]
The provisions of this chapter shall apply uniformly within all zoning districts bearing the same classification as designated on the District Zoning Map; provided, however, that:
A.
Where an ownership of record is divided by a district boundary line, each parcel thus created equal to or exceeding the minimum zone lot size as established by this resolution shall conform to the regulations pertaining to the zoning district in which each parcel is located.
B.
Where an ownership of record is divided by a district boundary line, any parcel thus created which is smaller than the minimum lot size for the district in which it is located may be combined with the larger parcel and used for a use permitted in the zone district in which the larger of the two parcels is located.
C.
Where an ownership of record is divided by a district boundary line and both parcels thus created are smaller than the minimum zone lot size for the districts in which they are located, then the parcels may be combined and used for a use permitted in the most restrictive of the zoning districts.

Where land is used for a higher and better use than that for which zoned, the zoning ordinances as established for the higher and better use will apply.
