Classification of lot at Borough boundary line.

C.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall govern:
(1)
The district boundaries are the center lines of streets, alleys, lot lines or railroads, unless otherwise shown, and where the designation on the Zoning Map indicates a boundary approximately upon a street line, alley, lot line or railroad shall be construed as the boundary. Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between a road and a district boundary line, they indicate that the district boundary line runs parallel to the road line at a distance therefrom equivalent to the number of feet so indicated.
(2)
In undivided property, the district boundary lines on the Zoning Map shall be determined by the use of the scale of the map.
(3)
When a district boundary line divides a lot held in single and separate ownership at the effective date of this chapter, the regulations as to the use in the less restricted district shall extend over the portion of the lot in the more restricted district a distance of not more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary line.
