Where the district boundaries are not shown to be street lines, the boundaries shall be construed to be property lines or dimensions from street lines.

When a district boundary line passes through a parcel of land with no indication of distance, the scale of the map shall determine the location of such line.
Whenever federal- 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.
From and after the effective date of this chapter, no building shall be erected, altered or used and no land shall be used save for a use or uses, together with uses accessory thereto, in conformity with the requirements of this chapter.
