The Township shall be divided into the following base zoning districts. The locations and boundaries of such base districts shall be as shown on the East Nottingham Township Zoning Map.[1]

Further, areas contained within the following zoning overlay districts are, in addition to the otherwise applicable provisions of this chapter, subject to the terms of § 27-402, "Floodplain Conservation District"; § 27-403, "Riparian Corridor Conservation District"; Part 13, "Retained Open Space Development"; and Part 6, "R-1A Transitional Residential Overlay District," respectively.

A Zoning Map shall be kept on file in the Township office. Said map and all notations, references, and data shown thereon are hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter and shall be as much a part of the chapter as if all were fully described herein.

The Zoning Map shall be so labeled, identified by the signature of the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, attested by the Secretary of the Board of Supervisors, and shall bear the Seal of the Township.

Boundary lines of the base zoning districts are intended to coincide with lot lines, center lines of streets and alleys, railroad rights-of-way, beds of streams existing at the time of passage of the chapter, the corporate boundary of the Township, or as dimensioned on the Zoning Map. If and when dimensions 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 center line of the street, a distance equivalent to the number of feet so indicated. Distances not specifically indicated on the Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the Zoning Map.

In the event of dispute about the location of the boundary of any district, the Zoning Officer shall investigate and render a determination on the location of the line. Appeals from the determination of the Zoning Officer shall be made to the Zoning Hearing Board.
