Uncertainty of boundaries. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zoning district shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
(A) Boundaries indicated as approximately following property or land parcel lines, street or alley rights-of-way, city boundary lines, shall be construed as following such lines, limits or boundaries.
(B) Where a zoning district boundary divides a lot and no dimensions or dividing lines are indicated, the location of such boundary shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the Official Zoning Map. In the case of any remaining uncertainty, the Zoning Administrator shall determine the location of boundaries based on the original Zoning Ordinance exhibit(s) that created the change.
(C) Where any public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the land underlying the street or alley will be added to abutting lots as required by state law. The regulations that applied to the abutting parcel or parcels before the vacation or abandonment shall apply to the entire new larger parcel or parcels that result from such vacation or abandonment.
(D) Where any private right-of-way or easement of any railroad, railway, transportation or public utility company is vacated, extinguished or abandoned, the land underlying the right of way or easement shall be added to abutting lots as required by state law. If the zoning for abandoned, extinguished or vacated property is unclassified, the property shall be automatically classified as being in the same zone of the abutting land to which it is added.
