The locations and boundaries of each of these
zoning districts are set forth on the Zoning Map attached hereto and
made a part hereof by this reference and adopted at the time of enactment
of this chapter. All notations, references, explanatory matter and other
information on the Zoning Map are adopted and incorporated herein
by this reference. The Zoning Map shall be kept on file for public
inspection in the business office of the Borough.
The zoning district boundaries shall be shown
on the Zoning Map with heavy solid lines and placement of the short
names of the respective zoning districts within such boundaries to
indicate the areas located within the various zoning districts. Where
uncertainty exists as to the precise location or extent of any zoning
district, the following shall apply:
A. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximate,
coinciding with the center lines of streets, ways, alleys, highways,
railroad lines, or streams, such center lines shall be construed to
be such boundaries.
B. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
coinciding with recorded lot boundary lines, such lot lines shall
be construed to be such boundaries, or where district boundaries are
indicated as extensions of recorded lot boundary lines, such lines
shall be construed to be such boundaries.
C. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately
parallel to center lines of streets, alleys, ways, highway, railroad
lines, streams, lot lines or other physical features, such district
boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such
distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map, provided that distances
not indicated specifically on the Zoning Map shall be determined by
measurement according to the scale of the Zoning Map.
D. Where physical or cultural features existing on the
ground are at variance with the district boundaries as shown on the
Zoning Map or as interpreted pursuant to this section, the Zoning
Hearing Board, upon application, shall interpret the district boundaries.
