The boundaries of the zoning districts established by this code are not included in this code but are shown on the official zoning map maintained by the city. The official zoning map, together with all legends, symbols, notations, references, zoning district boundaries, map symbols, and other information on the maps, have been adopted by the city council and are hereby incorporated into this code by reference, together with any amendments previously or hereafter adopted, as though they were fully included here.

A. Uncertainty of Boundaries. In the event uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any district shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

1. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of alleys, streets, highways, streams, or railroads shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

2. Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot lines, or city limits shall be construed as following such lines, limits, or boundaries.

3. In the case where a zoning district boundary divides a lot and no dimensions are indicated, the following shall apply:

a. Lots Greater than One Acre. The location of such boundary shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the official zoning map.

b. Lots Less than One Acre. The lot shall be deemed to be included within the zone which is the more restrictive.

4. In the case of any remaining uncertainty, the zoning administrator shall determine the location of boundaries.

5. Where any public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to each parcel of abutting property shall apply to that portion of such street or alley added thereto by virtue of such vacation or abandonment.

6. Where any private right-of-way or easement of any railroad, railway, transportation, or public or private utility company is vacated or abandoned and said property is unclassified, said property shall be automatically classified as being in the same district of the land abutting it. Where the right-of-way abuts a different district on each side, each district shall be extended to the centerline of the right-of-way. [Ord. 14-12 § 1; Res. 14-36 § 102.02.]
