For the purpose of this chapter, the Borough of Stockertown
is hereby divided into the following classes of districts:
|
R-1
|

|

MU
|
Mixed Use
|
|
I
|
Industrial
|
|
O/I

Floodplain
|
The location and boundaries of such districts, with the exception
of the Floodplain District, shall be as shown on the map attached
to and hereby made a part of this chapter, which map shall be designated
the "Zoning Map of Stockertown Borough." Said map, and all the notations,
references, and other data shown hereon, shall be as much a part of
this chapter as if fully described herein.
The boundaries between districts are, unless otherwise indicated,
either the center lines of streets, lanes, watercourses and rights-of-way
of power lines, pipelines, and other public utilities. Where boundaries
of a single district are indicated as including directly opposite
sides of a street, lane, lake or watercourse, or right-of-way of a
power line, pipe line or other public utility, for any portion of
its length, the district so indicated shall be construed to apply
to the entire bed of such feature named lying within such portion
of its length. Where uncertainty exists as to the location of any
such boundary as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall
apply:
A. Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following
a lot line or other property line, or as approximately following the
center line of a street, lane, lake, watercourse or right-of-way of
a utility line, such center line shall be construed as such boundary
line.
B. Where a district boundary divides a lot or runs through undivided
property, the location of such boundary, unless otherwise specified
by figures on the Zoning Map, shall be determined by the use of the
scale appearing on said map.
C. Where figures are shown on the Zoning Map between a street and a
district boundary, they shall indicate that the district boundary
runs parallel to the street line at a distance therefrom equivalent
to the number of feet so indicated, unless otherwise specified. Where
scaled distances do not agree with such figures, the figures shall
control.
Where a lot is divided by a district boundary line, other than
a boundary line of the Floodplain District, the uses permitted in
the less-restrictive district may extend into that portion of said
lot in the more restrictive district to the nearest lot line, but
in no case a greater distance than 50 feet, so long as full use is
made of the less-restricted area before extension into the more-restricted
area of said lot, and provided, however, that the area and bulk regulations
of the less-restrictive district shall not be so extended and further
provided that in no case shall the uses permitted in an abutting district
be extended for any distance into a Floodplain District.
