[1]
Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in the Township offices.
Where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of
any district as shown on said map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
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 plan of record at the time
of the adoption of this chapter, unless such district boundary lines
are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
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 from the lot line, such lot lines shall be
construed to be such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
[Amended 11-16-2009 by Ord. No. 224]
C.
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.
[Amended 12-16-2019 by Ord. No. 271]
In case of any uncertainty, the Board of Supervisors
or the Planning Committee shall interpret the intent of the map as
to location of district boundaries.
In unsubdivided land where a district boundary
line divides a lot held in single and separate ownership, the following
rules shall apply:
A.
The use in a less-restricted district may 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, providing
such extension does not exceed the frontage of the less-restricted
district along a street.
B.
The frontage of the less-restricted district may extend
over the portion of the lot in the more-restricted district a distance
of not more than 50 feet beyond the district line, providing a special
exception is granted by the Zoning Hearing Board.
