[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975; as amended by A.O.]
1. Designation of Zone Boundaries. The zone boundary lines are intended
generally to follow the boundary lines of streets, the center lines
of railroad rights-of-way, existing lot lines, or Borough boundary
lines, all as shown on the Zoning Map; but where a zone boundary line
does not follow such a line, its position is shown on said Zoning
Map by a specific dimension expressing its distance in feet from a
street line or other boundary line as indicated, or by reference to
a contour line delineated by the United States Geological Survey Maps.
2. Determination of Location of Boundaries. In case of uncertainty as
to the true location of a zone boundary line in a particular instance,
the Zoning Officer shall request the Zoning Hearing Board to render
its determination with respect thereto.
3. Division of a Lot in Single Ownership. Where a zone boundary line
divides a lot in a single ownership at the time of the passage of
this Chapter any use authorized in either zone on such lot may extend
to the entire lot, but shall not extend more than 25 feet beyond the
boundary line of the zone in which such use is authorized.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975; as amended by Ord. 659, 9/28/1976,

1. "More restrictive uses" as employed in this Chapter means the following:
A. Those uses permitted in the F and R Zones are the most restrictive.
B. All other uses are less restrictive in the order they are permitted
in the zones in the sequence shown: A, S, C-3, C-4, I-1, I-2, and
I-3.
C. Where a use is specifically enumerated in a less restrictive zone,
such use shall not be permitted in a more restrictive zone unless
it is specifically enumerated as a permitted use therein.
[Ord. 639, 7/14/1975]
Except as provided in this Chapter, no building or part thereof
or other structure shall be erected, altered, added to or enlarged;

listed (§§ 27-901 — 27-1604 of this
