[Amended 10-17-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-07; 4-17-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-02]
The location and boundaries of such districts shall be as shown on the map hereby made a part of this chapter, which map shall be designated the "Zoning Map of Upper Uwchlan Township." The said map, and all the notations, references, and other data shown hereon, shall be as much a part of this chapter as if fully described herein and shall be kept at the Township offices.
The boundaries between districts are, unless otherwise indicated, either the center lines of streets, lanes, watercourses and rights-of-way of power lines, pipe lines, and other public utilities. Where boundaries of a single district are indicated as including directly opposite sides of a street, lane, lake or watercourse, or right-of-way of a power line, pipe line, or other public utility, for any portion of its length, the district so indicated shall be construed to apply to the entire bed of such feature named lying within such portion of its length. Where uncertainty exists as to the location of any such boundary as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. 
Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following a lot line or other property line, or as approximately following the center line of a street, lane, lake, watercourse or right-of-way of a utility line, such center line shall be construed as such boundary line.
B. 
Where a district boundary divides a lot or runs through undivided property, the location of such boundary, unless otherwise specified by figures on the Zoning Map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on said map.
C. 
Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between a street and a district boundary, they shall indicate that the district boundary runs parallel to the street line at a distance therefrom equivalent to the number of feet so indicated, unless otherwise specified. Where scaled distances do not agree with such figures, the figures shall control.
Where a lot is divided by a district boundary line, other than a boundary line of the Flood Hazard District, the uses permitted in the less restrictive district may extend into that portion of said lot in the more restrictive district to the nearest lot line, but in no case a greater distance than 50 feet, so long as full use is made of the less restricted area before extension into the more restricted area of the said lot; and provided, however, that the area and bulk regulations of the less restrictive district shall not be so extended, and further provided that in no case shall the uses permitted in an abutting district be extended for any distance into a Flood Hazard District.
