Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply.
(A) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately coinciding with the centerlines of streets, highways or alleys, such centerlines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(B) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately coinciding with plotted lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(C) Where district boundaries are indicated as being approximately parallel to the center or right-of- way lines of streets or highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel to the center or right-of-way lines and at such distances from the center or right-of-way lines as is indicated on the official zoning map. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of map.
(D) Where district boundaries are indicated as being approximately perpendicular to the right-of-way lines of streets or highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being perpendicular to the right-of-way lines.
(E) Boundaries indicated as approximately following borough limits shall be construed as following such limits.
(F) Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

(H) Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by divisions (A) through (G) above, the Zoning Hearing Board shall interpret the district boundaries.
(I) Where a district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership at the effective date of this chapter, at the election of the property owner the regulations of either zoning district may be extended a distance of not more than 30 feet beyond the district boundary line into the remaining portion of the lot.
