The Planning Director shall be responsible for determination of boundaries on the Official Zoning Map in accordance with the standards in Section 2.2.12, Interpretation, and the following standards:
A. Boundaries shown as approximately following a utility line or a street, alley, railroad, or other public accessway shall be interpreted as following the centerline of the right- of-way or easement for the utility line or accessway.
B. If a street, alley, railroad, or utility easement forming the boundary between two separate zoning districts is abandoned or removed from dedication, the district boundaries shall be construed as following the centerline of the abandoned or vacated roadbed or utility easement.
C. Boundaries shown as approximately following a lot line shall be interpreted as following the lot line as it existed when the boundary was established. If a subsequent minor adjustment (such as from settlement of a boundary dispute or overlap) results in the lot line moving 10 feet or less, the zoning boundary shall be interpreted as moving with the lot line.
D. Boundaries shown as approximately following a river, stream, canal, lake, or other watercourse shall be interpreted as following the centerline of the watercourse as it actually exists, and as moving with that centerline to the extent the watercourse moves as a result of natural processes (flooding, erosion, sedimentation, etc.).
E. Boundaries shown parallel to or as extensions of features indicated in this subsection shall be interpreted as such.
F. Boundaries shown as following the boundary of the Town limits shall be interpreted as following the boundary of municipal incorporation.
G. Where the actual location of existing physical or natural features vary from that shown on the Official Zoning Map, or in other circumstances that are not covered by this subsection, the Planning Director shall have the authority to determine the district boundaries (see Section 2.2.12, Interpretation).
H. Wherever a single lot is located within two or more different zoning districts, each portion of the lot shall be subject to all the regulations applicable to the zoning district where it is located.
I. If the specific location of a depicted boundary cannot be determined from application of the above standards, it shall be determined by using the Official Zoning Map's scale to determine the boundary's distance from other features shown on the map.
J. Interpretations of the Flood Hazard Overlay (FHO) district boundary shall be made by the Floodplain Administrator, in accordance with the standards in Section 3.8.2, Flood Hazard Overlay (FHO) District.
K. In the case of FHO district boundaries, the FEMA work maps, if available, shall be used for scaling.
