Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in the Township offices.
The boundaries between districts are, unless otherwise indicated, either the center lines of streets or railroad rights-of-ways, or such lines extended, or lines parallel thereto. Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between a street and a district boundary line, they indicate that the district boundary line runs parallel to the street line at a distance therefrom equivalent to the number of feet so indicated.
[Amended 11-14-1995 by Ord. No. 9-1995]
Where a district boundary line divides a lot held in single and separate ownership at the effective date of this chapter, the regulations as to the use in the less-restricted district shall extend over the portion of the lot in the more-restricted district a distance of not more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary line. For the purposes of this chapter, the districts shall be considered to be restrictive in the following order, listed from least restrictive to most restrictive: R-3, R-2, R-1, RA-1, RA, RU, O-P, HB, O, I, M, FPC, SSC.
