§ 123-8 Interpretation of boundaries.

[Amended 3-20-2001 by Ord. No. 01-2]
Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow street center lines, railroad rights-of-way, streams and lot or property lines as they exist on lots of record at the time of enactment of this chapter, unless otherwise indicated by dimensions on the Zoning Map. Any dimensions shown shall be in feet and shall be measured horizontally and, when measured from a street, shall be measured from the street line even if the center line of that street is used for the location of a zoning district line. The exact location of any disputed zoning district boundary line shall be determined by the Land Use Board. The zoning standards, controls and designations apply to every structure, lot and use within each district, and the district lines extend vertically in both directions from ground level.

§ 123-9 Division of a lot in single ownership.

Where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot other than by following a stream or street, any use permitted in either district may be extended on the lot not more than 20 feet into the adjacent district. A use permitted in the zoning district so extended shall thereafter be a permitted use in the extended area. A zoning district line, however, shall be altered only once by utilizing this section of the chapter, after which the lot use shall be governed by the regulations of the zoning district in which it is located after the zoning district boundary line adjustment.
