§ 27-303 Interpretation of Zoning District Boundaries.
[Ord. 146, 1/10/2008; as amended by Ord. 173, 8/5/2014, § 2]
1.
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zoning district as shown on said map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow or be parallel to the center line of streets, and streams and to lot or property lines as they exist on a recorded deed or plan of record in the Allegheny County Department of Real Estate office at the time of the adoption of this chapter, unless such zoning district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where a zoning district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where it approximately follows lot lines, rights-of-ways, road center lines, stream channels or municipal limits, and where it does not scale more than 10 feet therefrom, such lines shall be construed to be said zoning district boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
Where a zoning district boundary does not follow lot lines, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the Zoning Map.
2.
When there is disagreement on the location of zoning district boundaries, a determination shall be made by the Zoning Officer, with appeal from the determination of the Zoning Officer made to the Zoning Hearing Board.
