A. Zone boundaries are intended to follow the center lines of streets, lot lines, hypothetical extensions of lot lines, property lines or other natural lines, such as center lines of watercourses, ditches, etc., unless such district or zone boundary is fixed by dimension on the Zoning Map or by description and shall include lands acquired by accretion or stream diversion by natural causes. Zone boundaries shall follow the lines that define the rear of a lot whenever possible, so that zoning is consistent on each facing side of a street.
[Amended 11-28-2011 by Ord. No. 23-2011]
B. Where a zone boundary fixed by dimension on the Zoning Map approximately follows and is not more than 20 feet from a lot line, such lot line shall be construed to be the zone boundary.
C. In unsubdivided 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.
D. Boundaries indicated as approximately following municipal limits shall be construed as following municipal limits.
E. Where a zone boundary line divides a lot held in single ownership at the effective date of this chapter, the use regulations applicable to the less restricted zone district extend over the portion of the lot in the more restricted district a distance of not more than 50 feet beyond the zone boundary line.
