[Amended 11-4-2021 by Ord. No. 954, approved 11-4-2021]
The boundaries of zoning districts shall be as shown on the official Zoning Map and made part of this chapter. This map shall be known as "The Zoning Map of the Borough of Shippensburg." The map and all notations, references and data shown thereon are hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter.[1]

Editor's Note: Said Zoning Map is on file in the Borough offices.
The boundaries between zoning districts are, unless otherwise indicated, either the center lines of streets, railroad rights-of-way or other such lines extended or approximately parallel or perpendicular thereto. Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between a street and a district boundary line, they indicate that the district boundary line runs parallel to the street line at a distance equivalent to the number of feet so indicated. In instances where a district boundary line is a property line, the distances shown will be those measured from the property line to the nearest identifiable landmark, such as a street, railroad, etc., at each end of the property line. In these cases, the boundary line is coincidental with the property line existing at the time this chapter is adopted. In case of uncertainty as to the true location of a district boundary line, the Zoning Officer shall make the initial determination thereof. Such determination shall be appealable to the Zoning Hearing Board.
Where a district boundary line divides a single lot that was in single and separate ownership at the effective date of this chapter, the use regulations applicable to the more restrictive district shall apply to the lot.
