Unless otherwise noted, the locations and boundaries of the
specific base zoning districts and overlay zoning districts are shown
upon the map(s) that are attached to and made a part of this chapter.
The map(s) 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(s) shall be designated:
A.
"Borough of Paxtang, Dauphin County, PA: Zoning Map" in this chapter
referred to as the "Paxtang Borough Zoning Map," "Paxtang Zoning Map,"
"Zoning Map," and/or "Official Zoning Map."
The boundaries between zoning districts are shown by zoning
district boundary lines on the Zoning Map(s). Where uncertainty exists
as to the location of boundaries of any zoning districts shown on
the Zoning Map(s), 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 ridgelines, 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 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(s).
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(s).
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(s), the Zoning Officer shall determine the zoning district
boundaries; however, the Zoning Officer's determination may be appealed
to the Zoning Hearing Board in accordance with Article XVIII of this
chapter relating to the Zoning Hearing Board.
A.
Tables 3-2 through 3-5, various use tables, list the types of uses
permitted in the respective zoning districts as set forth by this
chapter.[1] Uses are divided into those permitted by right "P" (zoning decision by Zoning Officer); permitted by special exception "SE" (zoning decision by Zoning Hearing Board); and permitted by conditional use "C" (zoning decision by Paxtang Borough Council). Many of the uses permitted by the above three categories shall comply with certain criteria, which are found in Article XVI of this chapter. The specific section numbers where the criteria are located are noted in the tables. Uses not listed in the tables or identified by "N" shall specifically not be permitted in the applicable zoning districts.

Editor's Note: The Permitted Uses Tables are attached to this
chapter.
