(d)

R-10 - Town-City Single Family Residential District. To allow for neighborhoods of a medium density consisting largely of single-family attached and detached dwellings on small lots developed on a grid system of curbed streets, typically with access to alleyways.

(e)

Overlay districts and purpose statements. See Article IV of this chapter for the designation and intent of the overlay districts.

The boundaries of the districts in which the City of Scranton is divided shall be shown upon a map entitled the "The City of Scranton Zoning Map," which is available on file for public viewing at the Scranton Municipal Building. This map and all notations, references, and other data shown thereon is hereby incorporated by reference into this chapter as if these items were fully described herein.

Whenever there has been an amendment to the boundary of a zoning district or overlay or a reclassification of a zoning district or overlay, the Zoning Map shall be accordingly revised and shall be duly certified by the City.

District boundary lines as a general rule follow lot lines, municipal boundary lines, and the centerlines of streets, highways, and alleys. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts on the Zoning Map, the Zoning Officer shall interpret the locations of the boundaries based on the following rules:

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed as following such center lines.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be constructed a following such lot lines.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following municipal boundaries shall be construed as following such municipal boundaries.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following railroad lines shall be construed as following the center line of a single-track railroad line or an imaginary line drawn midway between the main tracks of a multiple-track railroad line.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following shorelines shall be construed as following such shorelines. In the event of change in the shoreline, the boundary shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streams or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines. In the event of change in the stream or other body of water, the boundary shall be construed as moving with the center line of such.

Boundaries indicated as approximately parallel to or extensions of features identified in Subsections A through F above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the map.

Where physical features existing on the ground are alleged to be at variance with those shown on the Zoning Map or in other circumstances not covered by Subsections A through G above, it shall be the function of the Zoning Officer to interpret the Zoning Map.

Where one or more district boundary lines divide a lot held in single ownership, the regulations of the district comprising the greater proportion of the lot shall apply.

The subsections included herein provide the following information about each zoning district designated in § 445-9.
