Heidelberg Borough is hereby divided into districts of different types, each type being of such number, shape, kind, and area of such common unity of purpose and adaptability of use that are deemed most suitable to carry out the objectives of this chapter and the Borough's Comprehensive Plan.

R-1
Class One Residential District
R-2
Class Two Residential District
C
Commercial District
M

The boundaries of the various zoning districts are hereby established on a map, entitled the "Heidelberg Borough Zoning Map." This map is hereby made a part of this chapter and shall be kept on file at the Borough Office. All amendments to the map shall be identified on the map and shall be certified.
The boundaries of the various districts, as shown on the Borough Zoning Map, shall be identified as follows:
1. 
Where the indicated boundaries of the Zoning Map are approximately lot lines, or property lines, said lines shall be construed to be boundaries of such district, unless otherwise indicated.
2. 
Where the indicated boundaries on the Zoning Map are approximately public rights-of-way, the centerline of said public rights-of-way shall be construed to be the boundaries.
3. 
Where the indicated boundaries are dimensioned on the Zoning Map, said dimensions shall determine the boundaries.
4. 
Where the indicated boundaries are not approximately lot or property lines or public rights-of-way, and where said boundaries are not dimensioned, the boundaries shall be determined by scaling on the Zoning Map.
5. 
Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Zoning Map, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret the district boundaries.
