§ 113-13 District boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts, as shown in the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
The boundaries between districts are, unless otherwise indicated, either the center lines of roads and the rights-of-way of railroads and/or public utilities, or such lines extended, or lines parallel thereto. 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.
B.
In undivided property, the district boundary lines on the Zoning Map shall be determined by use of the scale of the map.
C.
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, when authorized as a special exception.
§ 113-14 Federal and state property.
Whenever federal- or state-owned property or property owned by any federal or state agency or any political subdivision thereof is included in one or more zoning districts, such property shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter only insofar as permitted by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America and of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
