ARTICLE II Establishment of Districts; Zoning Map; Boundaries

§197-4. Districts enumerated.

The Borough of Kenilworth is hereby divided into eight districts which shall be designated as follows:

§197-5. Zoning Map.

A. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the boundaries of said districts shall be shown on the Official Zoning Map of the Borough of Kenilworth which accompanies this chapter and is hereby declared to be a part thereof, including all notations and explanatory matter thereon.

B. No changes of any nature shall be made in the Official Zoning Map or matter shown thereon except in conformity with the procedures set forth in this chapter. Any unauthorized change of whatever kind by any person shall be considered a violation of this chapter. The Official Zoning Map shall be revised at least annually by the Borough Engineer to reflect amendments to this chapter.

C. A copy of the Official Zoning Map is on file and available for public inspection in the municipal office.

§197-6. District boundaries.

A. Unless otherwise shown, the district boundaries shall be construed to coincide with the center lines of streets, alleys, parkways, waterways and the middle of track or tracks of railroads.

B. Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following the property lines of parks or other publicly owned lands, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

C. In all cases where a district boundary line is located not farther than 10 feet away from a lot line of record, such boundary shall be construed to coincide with such lot line.

D. In all other cases, where dimensions are not shown on the Zoning Map, the location of boundaries shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on such map.

E. Where physical or cultural features on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map, or in other circumstances not covered in this chapter, the combined Board acting as the Board of Adjustment shall interpret the district boundaries.

F. In all cases where a district boundary divides a lot, other than a through lot, in one ownership, in such a way that 50 percent or more of such lot lies in the less restricted district, the regulations prescribed by this chapter for such less restricted district shall apply to entire lot.
