Akron City Zoning Code

The Borough is hereby divided into the following six districts:

Interpretation of District Boundary Lines. The district boundary lines shall be as shown on the Zoning Map. Such lines are intended to coincide with property lines, center lines of streets, utility rights-of-way, bodies of water, or the corporate boundary of the Borough, unless the contrary is indicated on the Zoning Map. In case of dispute, the Zoning Hearing Board shall determine the exact location of the district boundaries.

District Regulations Apply to School, Parks, and Other Public Uses. Public parks, playgrounds, cemeteries, public utilities, street rights-of-way, or other public uses shall be subject to the zoning regulations of the zoning district in which they are located. In case of doubt, the zoning regulations of the most-restricted adjoining zoning district shall govern.

Vacation of Public Ways. Whenever any street, alley, or other public way is vacated in the manner authorized by law, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley, or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation, and all area included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended zoning districts.
