In the creation of this chapter of the respective districts, careful consideration is given to the general suitability of each and every district for the particular uses and regulations applied thereto, and the necessary and property grouping and arrangement of various uses and densities of population in accordance with a well-considered comprehensive plan for the physical development of the town.

§ 152.023 RULES GOVERNING BOUNDARIES.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
(A) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets and highways, street lines or railroad right-of-way lines or such lines extended, such centerlines, street lines or railroad right-of-way lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(B) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.
(C) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerlines of streets, highways or railroads, or rights-of-way of same, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on said zoning map.
(D) Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single ownership, the district requirements for the least restrictive portion of such lot shall be deemed to apply to the whole thereof, provided that such extensions shall not include any part of such a lot more than 35 feet beyond the district boundary line. The term “least restrictive” shall refer to zoning restrictions, not lot or tract size.
