(Ord. No. 802, § 1, 12-14-2020)

All buildings and uses permitted in any zoning district shall be subject to the applicable standards of this chapter.

(Ord. No. 802, § 1, 12-14-2020)

The boundaries of the zoning districts are hereby established as shown on the zoning map of the City of Trenton, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part thereof. The official zoning map and copies of the map are on file at the office of the building department, which map with all notations, references, and other information shown thereon shall be as much a part of this chapter as if fully described herein.

(Ord. No. 802, § 1, 12-14-2020)

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways, or alleys, shall be construed to follow such center lines.

(2)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed to be the midway between the main tracks.

(3)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits shall be construed to be the midway between the main tracks.

(4)

Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be the midway between the main tracks.

(5)

Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be constructed to follow such shorelines, and in the event of change in the shoreline, shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline; boundaries indicated as approximately following the center line of streams, rivers, canals, lakes, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines; provided further that lot area and density requirements shall be determined on the basis of the horizontal area within the lot lines and the shoreline of the lot as defined in this chapter. Thus, the subaqueous lands between the shoreline of the lot and the established harbor line shall not be computed in determining lot area or density.

(6)

Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsection (1) through (5) above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.

(7)

Where physical or natural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by subsections (1) through (6) above, the zoning board of appeals shall interpret the district boundaries.

(8)

Insofar as some or all of the various districts may be indicated on the zoning map by patterns, which, for the sake of map clarity, do not cover public rights-of-way, it is intended that such district boundaries do extend to the center of any public rights-of-way.

(9)

Where, due to the scale, lack of detail or illegibility of the zoning map accompanying this chapter, there is any uncertainty, contradiction, or confliction as to the intended location of any district boundaries shown thereon, interpretation concerning the exact location of district boundary lines shall be determined upon written application to, or upon its own motion, by the planning commission.

(Ord. No. 802, § 1, 12-14-2020)

Whenever any park, commons, outlet, or any street, alley or other public way, or portion thereof in the City of Trenton shall be vacated, such park, commons, outlet, or any street, alley or other public way, or portion thereof, shall automatically be classified in the same zoning district as the property to which it attaches, unless otherwise recommended by the planning commission.

(Ord. No. 802, § 1, 12-14-2020)
