Mount Ephraim City Zoning Code

For the purpose of this chapter, the Borough of Mount Ephraim is hereby divided into use districts as follows:

The boundaries of these districts are hereby established as shown on the map entitled "Zoning Map of the Borough of Mount Ephraim" which accompanies and is hereby made a part of this chapter and which shall now reflect that the properties known as "Block 123.02, Lots 1.01 and 1.02" on the Tax Map of the Borough of Mount Ephraim shall henceforth be designated Mid-Rise Residential.[1]

District boundary lines are intended to follow street center lines, railroads and lot or property lines as they exist at the time of enactment of this chapter unless otherwise indicated by dimensions on the Zoning Map. The exact location of any disputed district boundary line shall be determined by the Joint Land Use Board. The zoning standards, controls and designations apply to every structure, lot and use within each district and the district lines extend vertically in both directions from ground level.

Where a district boundary line divides a lot other than by following a street, any use permitted in either district may be extended not more than 50 feet into the adjacent district, or to the boundary line of the divided lot, whichever is the lesser, by the owner or owners of the lot at the time of passage of this chapter. A use permitted in the district so extended shall thereafter be permitted only one election, after which the lot use shall be governed by the regulations of the district which has been extended.

Where a vacated street is bounded on either side by different districts, the former center line of the vacated right-of-way shall be considered the district boundary line.
