B. Such districts are hereinafter enumerated, established in the text
of this chapter, and confirmed as located on the Zoning Map.
The boundaries of said districts shall be as shown on the map
attached to and made a part of this chapter, which map shall be known
as the "Zoning Map of Royersford Borough." Said map and all notations,
references and data shown thereon are hereby incorporated by reference
into this chapter and shall be as much a part of this chapter as if
all were 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 the 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, when authorized as
a special exception.
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.
