The boundaries of the districts are shown upon the map which
is made a part of this chapter,[1] which map is designated as the "District Zoning Map."
The District Zoning Map and all the notations, references and other
information shown thereon are a part of this chapter and have the

properly attested and is on file with the Board of Commissioners.

Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is included as an attachment to this chapter.
A.
The district boundary lines on said map are intended to follow either
street or alley or lot lines, and where the districts designated on
the map are bounded approximately by such street, alley or lot lines,
the street or alley or lot line shall be construed to be the boundary
of the district, unless such boundary is otherwise indicated on the
map. In the case of nonsubdivided property, the district boundary
lines shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the
District Zoning Map or by dimensions.
B.
Where the boundary of a district follows a railroad line, such boundary
shall be deemed to be located midway between the main tracks of said
railroad line, unless the district line as shown on the District Zoning
Map follows the right-of-way line.
C.
Where one parcel of property is divided into two or more portions
by reason of different zoning district classifications, each of these
portions shall be used independently of the other(s) in its respective
zoning classifications, and, for the purpose of applying the regulations
of this chapter, each portion shall be considered as if it is in separate
and different ownership.
D.
Airport Overlay District. The Airport Overlay District (APO) shall
be delineated on the Township Zoning Map by means of an overlay which
shall be based on the current copy of the maps contained in the Southwestern
Pennsylvania Regional Planning Commission's reports entitled "Proposed
Airport Zoning Regulations to Limit the Height of Objects Around Pittsburgh
- Bouquet Airport."

on all zoning districts now or hereafter applicable to any lot or
part of lot in the APO District, and the regulations for the APO District

applicable to that lot.

Floodplain Overlay District. The Floodplain Overlay District (FPO)
shall be defined to be the low area adjoining and including any water
or drainage course or body of water subject to periodic flooding or
overflow and delineated in the Penn Township Flood Insurance Study.
(1)
Delineation of district. The Floodplain Overlay District (FPO), as
herein above defined, shall be delineated on the Township Zoning Map
by means of an overlay which shall be based on the current copy of
the Flood Insurance Study Map provided to the Township by the National
Flood Insurance Administration (NFIA).
(2)
Location of district. The FPO District shall be deemed to be an overlay
on all zoning districts now or hereafter applicable to any lot or
