Business park (BP). 4.2 Split lots. Wherever a district boundary splits a lot into two or more separate zoning districts, a prospective use may be processed only if it is listed in the table of uses for the district. The dimensional requirements for such use shall be determined by the district in which it is located. Where a proposed use is permitted in two or more districts on the same lot, the dimensional requirements, other than density, shall be determined by the district's dimensional regulations which contains the most usable lot area. For density requirements, all portions of the lot shall be calculated proportionately, by usable lot area within each district. 4.3 Interpretation. Where, due to the scale, lack of detail or illegibility of the zoning map of the town of West Warwick, it shall be determined that the boundary lines of districts are lot lines, centerlines of streets or such lines extended, railroad right-of-way lines, or the centerlines of watercourses. Interpretations concerning the text of this ordinance and the exact location of district boundary lines as shown on the zoning map shall be made by the building inspector. Any person aggrieved by such interpretation of the building inspector may appeal such interpretation to the zoning board of review. 4.4 Zoning affects every structure and use. No structure shall be constructed, erected, placed, moved or maintained nor shall the exterior be altered, and no land use shall be commenced or continued within the town unless in conforming with the regulations wherein specified for the district in which it is located, except as provided for in sections 7 and 8 herein. 4.6 Area requirements dedicated. No part of a lot, yard, parking space, or other dimension required for any building or use for the purposes of complying with the provisions of this ordinance shall be included as part of a lot, yard, parking space, or other dimension required under this ordinance for another use or building except as provided in section 5.9.8, joint use. 4.7 Only one dwelling on any lot. In no case shall there be more than one dwelling and its accessory buildings on one lot, except that (1) a detached residential living unit is allowed and (2) two-family and/or multiple-family developments may permit more than one residential structure per lot in conformity with this ordinance. 4.9 Street access.
