[Amended 10-17-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-07; 4-17-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-02]
The location and boundaries of such districts
shall be as shown on the map hereby made a part of this chapter, which
map shall be designated the "Zoning Map of Upper Uwchlan Township."
The said map, and all the notations, references, and other data shown
hereon, shall be as much a part of this chapter as if fully described
herein and shall be kept at the Township offices.
The boundaries between districts are, unless
otherwise indicated, either the center lines of streets, lanes, watercourses
and rights-of-way of power lines, pipe lines, and other public utilities.
Where boundaries of a single district are indicated as including directly
opposite sides of a street, lane, lake or watercourse, or right-of-way
of a power line, pipe line, or other public utility, for any portion
of its length, the district so indicated shall be construed to apply
to the entire bed of such feature named lying within such portion
of its length. Where uncertainty exists as to the location of any
such boundary as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall
apply:
A.
Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately
following a lot line or other property line, or as approximately following
the center line of a street, lane, lake, watercourse or right-of-way
of a utility line, such center line shall be construed as such boundary
line.
B.
Where a district boundary divides a lot or runs through
undivided property, the location of such boundary, unless otherwise
specified by figures on the Zoning Map, shall be determined by the
use of the scale appearing on said map.
C.
Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between
a street and a district boundary, they shall indicate that the district
boundary runs parallel to the street line at a distance therefrom
equivalent to the number of feet so indicated, unless otherwise specified.
Where scaled distances do not agree with such figures, the figures
shall control.
Where a lot is divided by a district boundary
line, other than a boundary line of the Flood Hazard District, the
uses permitted in the less restrictive district may extend into that
portion of said lot in the more restrictive district to the nearest
lot line, but in no case a greater distance than 50 feet, so long
as full use is made of the less restricted area before extension into
the more restricted area of the said lot; and provided, however, that
the area and bulk regulations of the less restrictive district shall
not be so extended, and further provided that in no case shall the
uses permitted in an abutting district be extended for any distance
into a Flood Hazard District.
