For the purpose of these regulations, certain terms or words are used in a limited or special sense, as defined in this chapter.

(Compiled Ords. 2013, § 19-8.1)

(a)

Generally. District boundary lines on the zoning map follow lot lines and the centerlines and limit lines of roads, as they existed at the time these regulations were enacted. However, a district boundary line that does not clearly coincide with a lot line is determined by scaling.

(b)

Division of a lot by a boundary line.

(1)

Where a district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership and of record when these regulations were enacted, the district regulations applying to the less restricted portion of the lot extends to the entire lot.

(2)

Where the more restricted portion of a lot is more than 50 feet beyond the dividing district boundary line, the less restricted use is limited to the portion of the lot lying within 50 feet of the boundary line.

(c)

Exact location of boundary lines. Questions about the exact location of district boundary lines are determined by the zoning hearing officer according to rules and regulations adopted by the county board.
