§ 25-47. Zoning district boundaries.  


Latest version.
  • With respect to the intended boundaries of the various zoning districts as shown on the official zoning map of Franklin County, the following rules shall apply:

    (1)

    Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline of streets, alleys, railroads, flowage easements or waterways, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries. Where roads and their centerlines follow magisterial district boundaries and the boundary separates a magisterial district not covered in this chapter from a magisterial district that is covered by this chapter, then a zoning district boundary shall be considered to run with the magisterial boundary, whether a centerline or other line determines the boundary of the magisterial district(s) and where these lines are set by parties of jurisdiction.

    (2)

    Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following the lines of lots or other parcels of record, such lot or parcel lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

    (3)

    Where a zoning district boundary appears to divide a single parcel of land at the time of this chapter's enactment, the use classification of the entire tract will be zoned.

    (4)

    Any zoning district boundary shown extended toward a county boundary or county boundary lying on any body of water or water channel shall be deemed to continue to extend straight to the county boundary set of record.

    (5)

    Where further interpretation is required beyond that presented in these paragraphs, the question shall be presented to the zoning administrator and thence shall be heard and decided by the board of zoning appeals.
