The Township of Bristol is hereby divided into districts of
different types, each type being of such number, shape, kind and area,
and of such common unity of purpose and adaptability of use, that
are most suitable to carry out the objectives of this chapter and

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 the Township of Bristol.” 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 fully described herein.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any
district as shown on said map, the following rules shall apply:
A. District
boundary lines are intended to follow the center lines of streets,
railroad rights-of-way and streams, or such lines extended or lines
perpendicular or parallel thereto, and a lot or property lines as
they exist on plans of record at the time of the adoption of this
chapter, unless such district boundary lines are indicated otherwise,
or fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B. Where figures
are shown on the Zoning Map between the street and a district boundary
line, they indicate that the district boundary line runs parallel
to the street line at a distance therefrom equivalent to the number
of feet so indicated, unless otherwise indicated.
C. 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 therefrom,
such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries unless specifically
shown otherwise.
D. 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.
E. In case
any further uncertainty exists, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret
the intent of the map as to location of district boundaries.
