NOD

The boundaries of said districts shall be as
shown upon the map attached to and made a part of this chapter, which
shall be designated the "Zoning Map." Said map, and all notations,
references and other things shown thereon, shall be a part of this
chapter as if fully described herein.
The boundaries between districts are, unless
otherwise indicated, either the center lines of street, lanes, watercourses
and rights-of-way of power lines and other public utilities, or such
lines extended, or lines parallel thereto. Where the boundaries of
a single district are indicated as including directly opposite sides
of a street, lane, lake or watercourse for any portion of its length,
the district so indicated shall be construed to apply to the entire
bed of such street, lane, lake or watercourse lying within such portion
of its length. Where uncertainty exists as to the location of any
said 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 or watercourse or
right-of-way of a power line or other public utility, such center
line shall be construed to be such boundary.
B. Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately
following a lot line or other 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 said map.
D. Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between
a street and a district boundary, they shall indicate that the district
boundary runs parallel to the center line of the street at a distance
therefrom equivalent to the number of feet so indicated, unless specified.
Where scaled distance do not agree with such figures, the figures
shall control.
Whenever federally or state-owned property or
property owned by any federal or state agency or any political subdivision
thereof is included in one or more zoning districts, it shall be subject
to the provisions of this chapter only insofar as permitted by the
Constitution and laws of the United States of America and the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania.
As of the effective date of this chapter all
buildings (erected, altered or used) and all land shall be used in
strict conformity with the requirements of this chapter.
