§ 500-302 District boundaries.
The boundaries between districts are shown by district boundary lines on the Zoning Map. Where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any districts shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
Where Zoning District boundaries are so indicated as approximately coinciding with the center lines of streets, highways, railroad lines or streams, or ridge lines, such center lines shall be construed to be the Zoning District boundaries.
B.
Where Zoning District boundaries are so indicated that they approximately coincide with lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be the Zoning District boundaries.
C.
Where Zoning District boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to center lines of streets and highways, the Zoning District boundaries shall be construed as parallel thereto and at such distances from the center line as indicated on the Zoning Map.
D.
For unsubdivided land or where a Zoning District boundary divides a lot, the location of the Zoning District boundary, unless dimensions are indicated, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the Zoning Map.
§ 500-303 Interpretation of boundaries.
In the case of any uncertainty as to Zoning District boundaries on the Zoning Map, the Code Enforcement Officer shall determine the Zoning District boundaries; however, the Code Enforcement Officer's determination may be appealed to the Zoning Hearing Board.
§ 500-304 Application of regulations.
Except as provided herein:
A.
No building or land shall hereafter be used or occupied and no building or part thereof shall be erected, moved or altered unless in conformance with the regulations specified for the Zoning District in which it is located; with the exception of existing nonconformities (grandfathered) as of the effective date of this chapter, which may be altered in compliance with Article XV of this chapter.
§ 500-305 Use tables.
The tables found in the ensuing articles (IV–IX) list the types of uses permitted by this chapter. Uses are divided into those permitted by right (zoning decision by Code Enforcement Officer); permitted by special exception (zoning decision by Zoning Hearing Board) and permitted by conditional use (zoning decision by governing body). Many of the uses permitted by the above three categories must comply with certain criteria, which are found in Article XII. The Zoning Code section numbers where the criteria are located are noted in the tables.
