4. Adoption of New Zoning Map. The Council may from time to time adopt a new official zoning map, which shall supersede the prior official zoning map, in the event that the official map becomes damaged or destroyed, or for purposes of clarity due to a number of boundary changes, or to correct drafting errors or omissions; provided, however, any such adoption shall not have the effect of amending the original zoning ordinance or any subsequent amendment thereof.
5. Boundaries. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, alleys or other public rights-of-way shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
B. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
C. Boundaries indicated as approximately following City limits shall be construed as following City limits.
D. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
E. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines and, in the event of change in the shoreline, shall be construed as following a platted lot line or for unplatted property as moving with the actual shoreline.
F. Boundaries not capable of being determined in the previous paragraphs shall be as dimensioned on the official zoning maps or, if not dimensioned, shall be determined by the scale shown on the map.
