RULES FOR INTERPRETATION OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES

§ 27-301 Rules for Interpretation of District Boundaries.

[Ord. 8, 4/3/1972, Art. III]
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
1. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such center lines;
2. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines;
3. 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following Township limits shall be construed as following such Township limits;
4. 
Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks;
5. 
Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in Subsections 1 through 4 above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically on the Official Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the map;
6. 
Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Map, or in other circumstances not covered by Subsections 1 through 4 above, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret the district boundaries.
7. 
Where a district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of passage of this Chapter 27, the Zoning Hearing Board may permit, as a special exception, the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot not to exceed 50 feet beyond the district line into the remaining portion of the lot.
