708, 9/12/1986, § 4]
The Town of Bloomsburg is hereby divided into districts as shown
on the official Zoning Map, which, together, with all supplementary
matters thereon, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be
part of this Chapter. The Official Zoning Map shall be identified by the signature
of the Mayor, properly attested and shall bear the Town Seal. No changes
of any nature shall be made in the official Zoning Map except in conformance
with the procedures set forth in Part 11. This official Zoning Map
shall supersede any prior Zoning Map and shall be identified by a
certification to the effect that:
This Official Zoning Map supersedes and replaces the Official
Zoning Map adopted the 28th day of May 1975, as Part of Ord. 613 of
the Town of Bloomsburg, Columbia County, Pennsylvania, and supersedes
and replaces the Official Zoning Map adopted the 6th day of October
1986, as part of Ord. 687 of the Town of Bloomsburg, Columbia County,
Pennsylvania.
[Ord. 687, 10/6/1986, § 403]
1. District boundary lines are intended to follow or be parallel to
the center line of streets, streams and railroads and lot or property
lines as they exist on a recorded deed or plan of record in the Columbia
County Recorder of Deeds Office at the time of the adoption of this
Chapter, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions
as shown on the Zoning Map.
2. Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where it
approximately follows lot lines, and where it does not scale more
than 10 feet therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such
boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
3. In unsubdivided land or where a district boundary divides a lot,
the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions,
shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the Map or
by survey of a registered surveyor hired and paid for by the property
owner questioning or contesting the boundary location.
[Ord. 687, 10/6/1986, § 404]
In case of any uncertainty, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret
the intent of the Map as to location of district boundaries.
[Ord. 687, 10/6/1986, § 405]
Wherever State-owned property 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 Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania.
[Ord. 687, 10/6/1986, § 406]
This Chapter shall not apply to any existing or proposed building,
or extension thereof, used or to be used by a public utility corporation,
if, upon petition of the corporation, the Pennsylvania Public Utility
Commission shall, after a public hearing, decide that the present
or proposed situation of the building in question is reasonably necessary
for the convenience or welfare of the public.
