§ 170-12 Interpretation of district boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any zoning district as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets or highways shall be construed to follow such center lines.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
Boundaries indicated as following center lines of any streams or other water bodies shall be construed as following such center lines.
§ 170-13 Comprehensive plan.
Definition. For the purpose of this chapter, the Comprehensive Plan shall include the Town's future land use development goals, policies and/or programs as set forth in the Official Comprehensive Plan adopted in January 2008, as amended from time to time.
Purpose and effect. The Comprehensive Plan, or any part thereof, as amended, shall be considered an official statement of the Town of South Bristol with respect to the existing and developing character of various areas of the Town; the proper objectives, standards and direction for the future maintenance, growth and development of the Town; the means to be employed to protect existing character or development and to encourage future development that will be in the best interest of the Town; and the actions and programs to be undertaken by the Town with respect to its future maintenance and development. The Comprehensive Plan shall serve as a guide and resource for Town officials and agencies in the performance of their duties.
