The provisions of this paragraph shall be held to be minimum requirements. Where this ordinance establishes both minimum and maximum standards, both standards shall be met even though the combination of standards may not permit the development of a specific lot to take advantage of all minimum and maximum standards simultaneously (e.g. maximum building coverage may be 30%, but in order to meet the minimum off-street parking requirements or building setbacks, the building coverage may only be able to reach 28%. The 28% coverage would be the maximum permitted under this ordinance). Where this ordinance imposes a greater restriction than is imposed or required by other provisions of law, the provisions of this ordinance shall control. Where other provisions of law require greater restrictions than are imposed or required by this ordinance, the provisions of such other laws shall control.

Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow street center lines, streams, and lot lines unless otherwise indicated by dimensions, in feet, on the Zoning Map. Any dimensions when measured from a street, shall be measured from the street right-of-way line even if the center line of that street is the zoning district line. Any disputed zoning district line shall be determined by the Planning Board. District lines extend vertically in both directions from ground level.

Where a zoning district line divides a lot other than by following a lot line, stream, or street, the zoning district line may be modified by the owner by moving the zoning district line to the property line provided the property line is within 20 feet of the zoning district line. A use permitted in the zoning district so extended shall thereafter be permitted in the extended area. A zoning district line shall be altered once by utilizing this section of the ordinance after which the lot use shall be governed by the regulations of the zoning district in which it is located after the zoning district line adjustment.
