§ 5.4. Interpretation of Zoning District Boundaries.

When uncertainty exists with respect to the location of boundaries of any zoning district as shown on the "Zoning Map of the City of Port Wentworth, Georgia" the following rules shall apply:

a.

Unless otherwise specifically indicated, where district boundaries are indicated on the zoning map as approximately following the centerline of a street, highway, railroad right-of-way line, stream bed, or river bed, or such centerlines extended, then such centerline shall be constructed to be such boundaries.

b.

Where district boundary lines are indicated on the zoning map as approximately following the corporate limits line of the City of Port Wentworth, then such corporate limits line shall be construed to be such district boundaries.

c.

Where district boundaries are indicated on the zoning map as being set back from a street, road, highway, railroad, stream, or river, and parallel thereto, then such district boundaries, unless otherwise specifically indicated shall be construed as being at the scaled distance of the zoning map as measured from the centerline of such street, road, highway, railroad, stream, or river and as being parallel thereto.

d.

Where district boundaries are indicated on the zoning map as approximately following lot lines or such lot lines extended, then such lot lines or such lot lines extended shall be construed to be such district boundaries.

e.

Where a district boundary divides a lot, the requirements for the district in which the greater portion of the lot lies shall be extended to the balance of the lot, provided however, that such extension shall not include any part of such lot which lies more than fifty (50) feet beyond the district boundary, and provided further that this provision shall not apply to a through lot. In the case of a through lot, the restrictions of the district applying to adjoining lots which front on the same street as the lot frontage in question shall apply.
