19.09.020 Unclassified areas.

19.09.030 District boundaries – Established.
The boundaries of such use districts as are shown upon any zoning map adopted by this title, or amendments thereto, are adopted and approved and the regulations of this title governing the uses of land, buildings and structures, the height of buildings and structures, the sizes of yards about buildings and structures, and other matters as set forth in this title are hereby established and declared to be in effect upon all land included within the boundaries of each and every use district shown upon each zoning map.

The boundaries of use districts shall be determined and defined or redefined from time to time, by the adoption of zoning maps covering the town and showing the geographical area and location of said use districts. Each zoning map shall be, upon its final adoption, a part of the zoning ordinance codified in this title, and said map, and all notations, references and other information shown thereon, thereafter shall be as much a part of this title as though all matters and information set forth on said map were fully described in this title. [Ord. 464 § 10.09.040, 2001; Ord. 426 § 10.09.040, 1998]
19.09.050 District boundaries – Rules for interpretation.
When uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any use district shown on zoning maps, the following rules of construction shall apply:
(1) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline of streets, alleys or highways, the actual centerline shall be construed to be the boundary.
(2) Where district boundaries are indicated as running approximately parallel to the centerline of a street, the boundary line shall be construed to be parallel to the centerline of the street.
(3) Where district boundaries are indicated on such map as approximately following the lot or tract lines, the actual lot or tract lines shall be construed to be the boundary of such use district.
(4) Where a district boundary on such zoning map divides a tract in nonsubdivided property, the location of such use district boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions thereon, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on such zoning map.
(5) Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to the abutting property to which the vacated portion shall revert shall apply to such vacated or abandoned street or alley.
(6) Where district boundaries are indicated on such map as approximately following the baseline of a steep slope that forms a natural barrier this baseline shall be construed to be the boundary of such use district.
(7) In case uncertainty exists which cannot be determined by application of the foregoing rules, the town council shall determine, the location of such use district boundaries. [Ord. 464 § 10.09.050, 2001; Ord. 426 § 10.09.050, 1998]

(2) No building or structure shall be erected, nor shall any building or structure be moved, altered, enlarged or rebuilt, nor shall any open spaces surrounding any building or structure be encroached upon or reduced in any manner, except in conformity with the building site requirements and the area, yard and height regulations established by this title or amendments thereto for the use district in which such building or structure is located.
(3) No yard or other open spaces provided about any building or structure for the purpose of complying with the regulations of this title or amendments thereto shall be considered as providing a yard or open space for any other building or structure.
