Zoning classification. The Township of Whitpain shall be hereafter divided into districts, which are described in the text of the Zoning Ordinance as ordained and enacted by the Board of Supervisors of Whitpain Township or as amended from time to time thereafter.

Zoning Map. The zoning districts or zoning classifications as originally enacted and ordained by the Board of Supervisors as aforesaid or amended from time to time thereafter are described, depicted and bounded as shown on the "Zoning Map of the Township of Whitpain."

Floodplain Map. The delineation of floodplains depicted and bounded are as shown on the "Floodplain Map of the Township of Whitpain."

Adoption of Zoning Map. The Board of Supervisors hereby adopts the Zoning Map of the Township of Whitpain, which shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Zoning Map of the Township of Whitpain," and specifically repeals any prior Zoning Map of the Township of Whitpain.

Incorporation by reference. The Zoning Map, together with the notations and references appearing thereon, is specifically incorporated as part of Chapter 160 of the Code of Whitpain Township and made a specific, integral part of Chapter 160 (also known as the "Whitpain Township Zoning Ordinance of 1950"), as amended, as fully as though the same were set forth and fully described herein.

Copies of map. Copies of the Zoning Map aforementioned are on file in the office of the Whitpain Township Manager and Whitpain Township Codes Enforcement Officer.

The boundaries between districts are, unless otherwise indicated, either the center lines of roads and rights-of-way of railroads and/or public utilities or such lines extended or lines parallel thereto. Where boundaries on the Zoning Map are shown between a road and a district boundary line, this indicates that the district boundary line runs parallel to the road line.

In undivided property, the district boundary lines on the Zoning Map shall be determined by the use of the scale of the map.

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 lesser 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.
