§ 196-8. Zoning Map.

The location and boundaries of said districts and sites are hereby established as shown on the Zoning Map of the City of Hoboken as revised, which is attached hereto and is hereby made a part of this chapter. Said map, together with everything shown thereon, and all amendments thereto shall be a part of this chapter as if the same were fully described and set forth herein.

§ 196-9. Interpretation.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:

A. District boundaries along rights-of-way. Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow street center lines, railroad rights-of-way and land lot lines as they exist on lots of record at the time of the enactment of this chapter. District boundary lines shown along the Hudson River are intended to be coincident with the pierhead line.

B. District boundaries on city boundaries and property lines. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the city boundary line, property lines, lot lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as to be coincident with such lines or projections.

C. Boundaries parallel to other lines. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the city boundary line, property lines, lot lines or right-of-way lines, or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map.

**Webmasters Note: The previous sections, 196-7 through 196-9.C., have been amended as per Supplement No. 53.

D. Division of a lot in single ownership. Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single or joint ownership of record at the time such line is established, the regulations for the less restricted portion of such lot shall extend not more than ten (10) feet into the more restricted portion.

E. Unclear boundaries. In the event that a district boundary is unclear, the Building Inspector shall request the Zoning Board of Adjustment to render its judgment thereto.
