Official Zoning Map. Unless otherwise noted, the locations and boundaries
of the specific zoning districts and overlay zoning districts are
shown upon the map that is attached to and made a part of this chapter.
The map and all notations, references and other data shown thereon
are hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter as if all were
fully described in this chapter. The map shall be designated as the
"Township of Fairview, York County, PA: Official Zoning Map" in this
chapter may be referred to as the "Official Zoning Map."
The boundaries between zoning districts are shown by zoning
district boundary lines on the Zoning Map. Where uncertainty exists
as to the location of boundaries of any zoning districts shown on
the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
Where zoning district boundaries are so indicated as approximately
coinciding with the center lines of streets, highways, railroad lines,
other rights-of-way lines, streams, or ridge lines, such center lines
shall be construed to be the zoning district boundaries.
B.
Where zoning district boundaries are so indicated as approximately
coinciding with lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be
the zoning district boundaries.
C.
Where zoning district boundaries are so indicated that as approximately
parallel to center lines of streets, highways, railroad lines, and
other rights-of-way, the zoning district boundaries shall be construed
as parallel thereto and at such distances from the center line as
indicated on the Zoning Map.
D.
For unsubdivided land or where a zoning district boundary divides
a lot, the location of the zoning district boundary, unless dimensions
are indicated, shall be determined by the scale appearing on the Zoning
Map.
E.
Where a municipal boundary divides a lot, the minimum lot area shall
be regulated by the municipality in which the principal use(s) are
located, unless otherwise provided by applicable case law. The land
area within each municipality shall be regulated by the use regulations
and other applicable regulations of each municipality.
F.
In the case of any uncertainty as to zoning district boundaries on the Zoning Map, the Zoning Officer shall determine the zoning district boundaries; however, the Zoning Officer's determination may be appealed to the Zoning Hearing Board of the Township of Fairview in accordance with Article XII of this chapter relating to Zoning Hearing Board.
