Narrative:

The taxi hold point for runway 28 and runway 23 are not depicted on the taxi chart correctly. The chart shows an area beyond runway 23 before going onto runway 28. In reality there is no space so we taxied past the hold line but stopped short of the runway. The chart needs to be updated immediately. The fact that it was night was a huge contributing factor. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states the airport diagram chart has been changed since his report. It is better but still does not depict the correct information. Reporter claims that once you have taxied onto runway 23 you are also on runway 28L. The diagram indicates a separation which reporter says does not exist. He indicated there are signs but the lights were out and this was a night flight. Reporter does not excuse himself for missing the taxiway end, but was confused by the diagram. Feels something must be done as he is sure this has happened to others and in fact has spoken to some pilots who admit they have done the same thing.
