Aforesaid zones are hereby established by the designations, locations and boundaries thereof set forth and indicated on the Zoning Map dated February 14, 2000, as amended. Said map shall be known as the "Zoning Map of the Borough of South Plainfield" and is hereby decreed to be part of this chapter.
§ 540-9 Zone boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists as to any of said boundaries as shown on said map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
Zone boundary lines are intended to follow the center line of the streets, railroad rights-of-way, streams and lot or property lines as they exist on plats of record at the time of the passage of this chapter, unless such zone boundary lines are fixed by dimensions shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where such boundaries are not fixed by dimensions and where they approximately follow lot lines, and where they do not scale more than 25 feet distant therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
In subdivided land and where a zone boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
