A. The location and boundaries of the districts established by this title are set forth on the zoning map entitled, “Village of Riverdale Zoning District Map,” dated April 26, 1994, which is incorporated herein, and hereby made a part of this title. Said map, together with everything shown thereon and all amendments thereto, shall be as much a part of this title as though fully set forth and described herein.

B. The following rules shall apply with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the zoning district map:

1. District boundary lines are the center lines of highways, streets, alleys, railroads and easements; or section, division of section, tract and lot lines; or such lines extended, unless otherwise indicated.

2. In areas not subdivided into lots and blocks, wherever a district is indicated as a strip adjacent to and paralleling a street or highway, the depth of such strips shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the maps measured at right angles from the center line of the street or highway, and the length of frontage shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the map from section, quarter section, or division lines, or center lines of streets and highways or railroads, unless otherwise indicated.

3. Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single ownership on the effective date of this title, the board of appeals, after due hearing, may extend the regulations for either portion of such lot. No fee shall be assessed for such interpretation.

C. The current zoning district map shall be available in Village Hall. (1980 Zoning Code § 6.2)
