For the purposes of this chapter, the land contained
within the boundaries of the Township of Marple is divided into districts.
Each district is constituent of one of the five general classifications
for districts according to this chapter, as follows:
The boundaries of districts described in § 300-15 shall be as shown upon the map attached to and made a part of this chapter, which shall be designated the "Township of Marple Zoning Map." Said map and all the notations, references and other data shown thereon are hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter and shall be as much a part of this chapter as if all were fully described herein.
[1]
Editor's Note: Said map is on file in the
Township offices.
When uncertainty exists as to boundaries of
any district as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall
apply:
A.
District boundary lines are intended to follow or
be parallel to the center line of street or railroad rights-of-way
and lot or property lines as they exist on plans of record at the
time of adoption this chapter, unless such district boundary lines
are specifically fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions
and where said boundary approximately follows a lot line and where
it does not scale more than 10 feet therefrom, such lot line shall
be construed to be such boundary line unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
The permitted use of a lot of less than 1/2 acre shall
be determined by the most restrictive zoning classification of the
lot.
