Dallas Township is hereby divided into zoning
districts, as shown on the Official Zoning Map, which together with all explanatory matter thereon, is
hereby adopted by reference and declared to be part of this chapter,
together with all future notations, references and amendments.
Any changes to the location of zoning district boundaries or other matters portrayed upon the Official Zoning Map shall be undertaken in accordance with the applicable provisions contained within Article
XIV of this chapter and the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act 247, as amended. Such changes shall be provided upon the Official Zoning
Map promptly after the enactment of the subject amendment by the Dallas
Township Board of Supervisors.
For the interpretation of zoning district boundaries,
the following subsections shall apply if or when a determination is
not made by the Zoning Officer.
A. Zoning Hearing Board. If uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any zoning district shown upon the Official Zoning Map, the Zoning Hearing Board shall determine the location of such boundary according to the guidelines set forth in Subsection
B.
B. Guidelines.
(1) Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow
or parallel the center line of streets, streams and railroads; and
the lot or property lines as they exist on a recorded deed or plan
at the time of adoption of this chapter, unless such zoning district
boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Official Zoning
Map.
(2) Where a zoning district boundary is not fixed by dimensions
and where it approximately follows lot lines, and does not scale more
than 10 feet therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such
boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
(3) If the guidelines within this section above fail to
provide and establish the boundary of a zoning district, a survey
of the property or area of land in question shall be made by a registered
surveyor, with the cost of the survey paid by the party who is questioning
or contesting the boundary location.
