The locations and boundaries of such districts
shall be shown upon a map which is designated the Zoning Map of Lower
Gwynedd Township. Such map is on file in the Township Building.

[Ord. 223. Passed 12-10-1985]
Unless otherwise indicated, the boundaries between
districts are either the center lines of streets, lanes, lakes, watercourses
and rights-of-way, or such lines extended or lines parallel thereto.
Where the boundaries of a single district are indicated as a watercourse,
right-of-way or power line, for any portion of its length, the district
so indicated shall be construed to apply to the entire bed of the
street, lane, lake, watercourse or right of way lying within such
portion of its length. Where uncertainty exists as to the location
of such boundaries as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules
shall apply:
(a)
Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately
following the center line of a street, lane, lake, watercourse or
right-of-way, such center line shall be construed to be such boundary.
(b)
Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately
following a lot line or property line, such lot line or property line
shall be construed to be such boundary.
(c)
Where a district boundary divides a lot or runs through
undivided property, the location of such boundary, unless otherwise
specified by figures on the Zoning Map, shall be determined by the
use of the scale appearing on the map.
(d)
Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between
a street and a district boundary, such figures shall indicate that
the district boundary runs parallel to the street line at a distance
therefrom equal to the number of feet so indicated, unless specified.
Where scale distances do not agree with such figures, such figures
shall control.
[Ord. 223. Passed 12-10-1985]
Whenever federal or state-owned property is
included in one or more zoning districts, it shall be subject to this
Zoning Code only insofar as permitted by the Constitution and laws
of the United States and of the Commonwealth.
