The map adopted as part of this chapter is the former map titled
"Proposed Zoning Changes of the Township of Cecil," as adopted with
Resolution No. 86-98, on November 18, 1998. See Appendix A. Once adopted,
the colored areas on the map will receive the zoning classification
as indicated in the legend.[1]

Editor's Note: Appendix A, the Township Zoning Map, is on
file in the Township offices.
B.
The boundaries of the above districts shall be shown upon the Zoning
Map adopted as part of this chapter, which shall be kept on file at
the Township Municipal Building. The Zoning Map shall be available
for public examination at such office during business hours, except
that such Zoning Map may be removed from such office for any reasonable
purpose with the consent of the Board of Supervisors. Upon amendments
to the Zoning Map, the Department of Planning shall keep copies of
the superseded Zoning Map for historical reference.
The boundaries between districts are, unless otherwise indicated,
intended to coincide with the limits of the Township; the center line
of streets, roads, alleys or railroad rights-of-way; and with the
side and rear lines of lots. Where figures are shown on the Zoning
Map between a street, road, alley or railroad right-of-way and a district
boundary line, they indicate that the district boundary line runs
parallel to the street, road, alley or railroad right-of-way at a
distance therefrom equivalent to the number of feet so indicated.
Where any street or alley is hereafter officially vacated or abandoned,
the regulations applicable to each parcel of abutting property shall
apply to that portion of such street or alley added thereto by virtue
of such vacation or abandonment. Any person aggrieved by the interpretation
of the Zoning Map by the Zoning Officer concerning the location of
the district boundaries may appeal to the Zoning Hearing Board for
a determination.
Whenever a single lot two acres or less in size is located within
two or more different zoning districts, the district regulations applicable
to the district within which the larger portion of the lot lies shall
apply to the entire lot. Whenever a single lot greater than two acres
in size is located within two or more different zoning districts,
each portion of that lot shall be subject to all the regulations applicable
to the district in which it is located. Where a zoning district boundary
line divides a lot and where distances from the boundary line to property
lines are not specifically indicated on the Zoning Map, the exact
boundary line location shall be determined by measurement, using the
scale of the Zoning Map.
All land annexed to the Township after the effective date of
this chapter shall be automatically assigned a zoning classification
of R-1 (Low-Density Residential District) and shall remain so classified
until a zoning plan for the annexed area has been adopted by the Board
of Supervisors. The Planning Commission shall recommend to the Board
of Supervisors appropriate zoning for the annexed area within 90 days
of the effective date of such annexation.
