(A) Zoning districts. The township is hereby classified and divided into nine districts designated as follows:

R2 | Residential Multiple-Family District |
R3 | Residential Manufactured Home District |
CN | Commercial-Neighborhood District |

(B) Interpretation of district boundaries.
(1) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following centerlines of streets, highways, street lines, highway right-of-way lines, railroads or railroad rights-of-way, or streams, such centerlines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(2) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(3) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow or are parallel to the centerlines of streets, highways or the rights-of-way of the same, such district boundaries shall be construed to be parallel thereto and at such distance from the centerlines as indicated on the zoning map.
(4) Where the boundary of a district follows a stream or other body of water abutting another municipality, the boundary shall be deemed to be the limits of jurisdiction of the township, unless otherwise indicated.
(5) Where the boundary of a district traverses a lot, parcel or tract of record, the zoning district designation shall be determined by the location of the primary use structure or building first established on the lot, parcel, or tract of record. In the event of future subdivision of the lot, parcel or tract of record, the zoning district in which the majority of that specific lot area is located shall establish the zoning district designated for that lot, parcel or tract.
(C) Zoning map. The map herein referred to, which is identified by the title, “Conemaugh Township Zoning Map”, and which is hereby declared to be a part of this chapter, shall be known as the “zoning map”.
(D) Federal, state, county or municipally owned property. Wherever federal, state or county owned property is included in one or more zoning districts, it shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter only insofar as is permitted by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America and of the commonwealth. In the case of municipally owned property, the use provisions of this chapter shall not apply.
