The boundaries of the AG, RC, RL, RM, CC, MU and IL Districts shall be as shown on the map attached to and made a part of this chapter. The "Freedom Township Zoning Map" and all the notations, reference and other data shown are incorporated by reference into this chapter as Appendix A.[1]

The boundaries of the Floodway and Flood Fringe shall serve as regulatory overlays to the underlying districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, and as specifically described in the Floodway Data Table and 100-year flood delineation in the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) prepared for the Township by the Flood Insurance Administration (FIA) dated July 22, 2020. The said study and accompanying maps, notations, references and other data are incorporated by reference into this chapter as if all were fully described herein.

The boundaries between these districts are, unless otherwise indicated, either the center lines of streets, alleys, rights-of-way, lot lines, or such lines extended, or parallel.

Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between a street, alley, right-of-way, or lot line, and a district boundary line, such figures indicate that the district boundary line runs parallel to that line at a distance equivalent to the number of feet indicated.

Where district boundaries are not clearly fixed by the above methods, such boundaries shall be determined by the use of the scale of the Zoning Map.

Should any other uncertainty exist, the Zoning Officer shall interpret the intent of this chapter and Map as to the exact location of district boundaries.

When a district boundary line divides a lot held in single and separate ownership at the effective date of this chapter, the regulations of either abutting district may be construed by the owner to be applicable to the portion of such lot in the other abutting district for a distance of not more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary line.
