The location and boundaries of the districts established by this title are shown upon the zoning map, special district overlay maps, floodplain overlay maps and flood profiles, which are incorporated into this title. Such maps, together with everything shown thereon and all amendments thereto, shall be as much a part of this title as if fully set forth and described herein.

A.

District boundary lines are intended to follow center lines of streets, highways and waterways or lot lines, corporate boundaries and specific dimensions shown on the official zoning map.

B.

Where dimensions are shown, the district boundary shall be measured in feet along a horizontal plane at right angles to the respective street feature which such dimensions follow. All such measurements shall be taken at the street right-of-way line even if the center line of that street is used for the location of the zoning district boundary on the zoning map.

C.

When a zoning district boundary line crosses a lot of record that was existing as of May 23, 1983, and sixty (60) percent of the lot is in one zoning district and forty (40) percent is in another zoning district, a special exception may be granted to use the entire property for uses allowed in the zoning district that applies to the sixty (60) percent portion of the lot. In addition to the sixty (60) percent requirement, the following restrictions shall apply:

1.

A nonresidential use shall not extend over a lot in a residential district closer than twenty-five (25) feet to a street in a residential district; and the twenty-five-foot area shall be maintained as a landscaped front yard;
