B. Such districts are hereinafter enumerated, established
in the text of this chapter and confirmed on the Zoning Map.
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. The said map and all notations,
references and other things shown thereon shall be made a part of
this chapter as if the matters and things shown by said map were all
fully described herein.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the
boundaries of the various districts, as shown on the Zoning Map, the
following rules shall apply:
A. The boundaries between districts are, unless otherwise
indicated, either the center lines of roads and of rights-of-way of
railroads and/or public utilities or such lines extended or lines
parallel thereto. Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between
a road and a district boundary line, they indicate that the district
boundary line runs parallel to the road line at a distance therefrom
equivalent to the number of feet so indicated.
B. In undivided property, the district boundary lines
on the Zoning Map shall be determined by use of the scale of the map.
C. When a district boundary line divides a lot held in
single and separate ownership at the effective date of this chapter,
the regulations as to the use in the less restricted district shall
extend over the portion of the lot in the more restricted district
a distance of not more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary line,
provided that, in case of a lot other than a corner lot, the regulations
as to the use in a less restricted district may extend a distance
of more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary line when authorized
as a special exception.
[Amended 12-17-2015 by Ord. No. 325]
A. 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 of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
B. Township-owned land and buildings. The provisions of this chapter
shall not apply to land and buildings owned by Lower Pottsgrove Township
and used for its governmental purposes.
