(C) Boundaries between districts. The boundaries between districts are, unless otherwise indicated, either the centerlines of streets, alleys, railroad rights-of-way, lot lines, or such lines extended or lines parallel thereto.
(1) Where district boundaries approximate the location of the above lines, they shall be construed to be on those lines.
(2) Where figures are shown on the zoning map between a street, alley, railroad right-of-way, or lot line, and a district boundary line, they indicate that the district boundary line runs parallel to that line at a distance therefrom equivalent to the number of feet so indicated.
(3) Where district boundaries are not clearly fixed by the above methods, they shall be determined by the use of the scale of the zoning map.
(D) Interpretation of boundaries. When a district boundary line divides a lot held in single and separate ownership at the effective date of this chapter, the regulations of either abutting district may be construed by the owner to be applicable to the portion of such lot in the other abutting district for a distance of not more than 50 feet beyond the district boundary line.
