A.
The boundaries of the above-designated districts shall be as shown
upon the map attached to and made a part of this chapter which shall
be designated "Zoning Map." Said map and all the notations, references
and other data shown thereon are hereby incorporated by reference
into this chapter as if all were fully described herein.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Said map is on file in the office of the Township
Secretary. Additional copies are available from the Zoning Officer.
B.
The boundaries of the FW and FF Districts shall serve as overlays
to the underlying districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map and
as specifically described in the Floodway Data Table and 100-year-flood
delineation in the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) prepared for the Township
by the Flood Insurance Administration (FIA), dated March 2009, and
as may be amended. Said study and accompanying maps, all notations,
references and other data shown thereon are hereby incorporated by
reference into this chapter as if all were fully described herein.
C.
The boundaries of the Airport Hazard Zone shall be that as described
by mapping completed as part of the Model Airport Zoning Ordinance
for Lower Allen Township, prepared by L. Robert Kimball and Associates,
1989, and as may be amended, and available from the Township office.
Such boundaries are referenced as an overlay to the Zoning Map and
are incorporated by reference into this chapter as if fully described
herein.
A.
The boundaries between these districts are, unless otherwise indicated,
either the center lines of streets, alleys, rights-of-way, lot lines
or such lines extended or lines parallel thereto.
B.
Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between a street, alley,
right-of-way or lot line and a district boundary line, such figures
indicate that the district boundary line runs parallel to that line
at a distance therefrom equivalent to the number of feet so indicated.
C.
Where district boundaries are not clearly fixed by the above methods,
such boundaries shall be determined by the use of the scale of the
Zoning Map.
D.
Should any other uncertainty exist, the Zoning Officer shall interpret
the intent of this chapter and the Zoning Map as to the exact location
of district boundaries.
E.
When a district boundary line divides a lot held in single and separate
ownership at the effective date of this chapter, the regulations of
either abutting district may be construed by the owner to be applicable
to the portion of such lot in the other abutting district for a distance
of not more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary line.
