2.
Zoning Map. The boundaries of districts in Subsection 1 shall be as shown upon the map attached to and made a part of this chapter, which shall be designated the "Cumberland Township Zoning Map." Said map and all the notations, references, and other data shown thereon are hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter and shall be as much a part of this chapter as if all fully described herein.
3.
Boundaries. When uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any district as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
District boundary lines are intended to follow or be parallel to the center line of street or railroad rights-of-way and lot or property lines as they exist on plans of record at the time of adoption this chapter, unless such district boundary lines are specifically fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where said boundary approximately follows a lot line, and where it does not scale more than 10 feet therefrom, such lot line shall be construed to be such boundary line unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
The permitted use of a lot of less than on 1/2 acre shall be determined by the most restrictive zoning classification of the lot.
