§ 195-13 District boundaries.
[Amended 11-13-2001 by Ord. No. 119]
Where uncertainty exists as to the location of the zoning district boundaries of any district as shown on the Township of Brighton Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
District boundary lines are intended to follow or be parallel to the center line of streets and stream channels and to lot or property lines as they exist on a recorded deed or plan of record in the Beaver County Recorder of Deeds office at the time of the adoption of this chapter, unless such zoning district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions and shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where a zoning district boundary line is not fixed by dimensions and where it approximately follows lot lines and where such zoning district boundary line does not scale more than 10 linear feet from the recorded lot line, the lot lines shall be construed to be such zoning district boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
In subdivided land or where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot, the location of such zoning boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the maps.
§ 195-14 Interpretation of boundaries.
Where uncertainty remains, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret the intent of the Township of Brighton Zoning Map as to location of zoning district boundary lines.
