(A) The locations and boundaries of the zoning districts are established as they are shown on the map entitled “The Zoning Map of Fredonia” which is hereby incorporated into this chapter. In the event of a conflict between the zoning map and any action of the Town Council as reflected in the public minutes of the same, the Council action shall be controlling.
(B) Where uncertainty exists as to the exact boundary of a zoning district, the following criteria shall apply.
(1) Where district boundaries are shown by specific location such as a lot line or street line or creek bed, these lines shall be deemed to be the zone boundary. Commercial zones, unless specifically noted on the map, shall be halfway through the town block.
(2) Where the above application of the rules does not clarify the zone boundary, then the Planning and Zoning Commission shall determine the location.
(3) Territory not zoned annexed to the town subsequent to the effective date of this chapter shall, upon the date the annexation becomes effective, automatically remain as designated by the county until the time as the Town Council shall see fit to approve a change of zone request for all or any part of the annexed area.
(4) Where a lot is divided by one or more district boundary lines, the entire lot shall be deemed to be included in the most restrictive district classification unless the less restrictive uses have already been established for a majority of allowable density.
(5) On legal substandard depth lots for the district in which it is located, the front or rear setbacks, except on the street or alley side, may be reduced three inches for each foot that the lot depth is short of the required minimum depth for the district, but in no case may the front and rear yards be reduced to an area of less than 75% of the required minimum.
