§ 131-5 Interpretation of boundaries.
A.
Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow the center line of streets, railroad rights-of-way, streams and recorded lot or property lines as they exist at the time of enactment of this chapter, unless otherwise indicated by dimensions on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where zone boundaries are not fixed by dimension or other notation and where they approximately follow property lines or natural features and do not scale more than 25 feet distant therefrom, such property line or natural feature shall be deemed to be the location of the zoning district boundary.
C.
Where a zoning district boundary line is shown as approximately following the borough limits, such boundary shall be construed to be the borough limits.
D.
In all cases where a district boundary divides a lot, other than a through lot, in one ownership, in such a manner that 50% or more of such lot lies in a less restrictive district, the regulations prescribed by this chapter for such less restrictive district shall apply to the entire lot.
