Section 76-12 - Area Enclosed by District Boundary Line

§76-12
Area Enclosed by District Boundary Line
New York City Zoning Resolution
New York City Zoning Resolution Section 76-12: Area Enclosed by District Boundary Line. Cited in 3 BSA/CPC cases.
In plain English
Simple boundary rule: if your property sits inside the line drawn around a zoning district on the map, that's the district you're in — full stop.
No splitting hairs about being near the edge. The line encloses an area, and everything inside it follows that district's rules.
This settles which zoning applies when you're looking at the official map.
