The following rules shall be used to determine the precise location of any zoning district boundary unless such boundary is specifically indicated on the Official Zoning Map.
(a) Where district boundaries are so indicated as approximately following the center lines of thoroughfares or highways, street lines, or highway right-of-way lines, such center lines, street lines, or highway right-of-way lines shall be construed to be said boundaries;
(b) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries;
(c) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines or street lines of streets, or the center lines or right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance there from as indicated on the Official Zoning Map. If no distance is given, such dimensions shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Official Zoning Map;
(d) Where the boundary of a district follows a railroad line, such boundary shall be deemed to be located in the middle of the main tracks of said railroad line;
(e) Where the boundary of a district follows a stream, lake, or other body of water, said boundary line shall be deemed to be at the limit of the jurisdiction of the City unless otherwise indicated;
(f) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they follow or approximately follow the limits of municipal corporation, such boundaries shall be construed as following such limits;
(g) Whenever any street, alley, or other public way is vacated by Council action, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley, or public way shall automatically be extended to the center of such vacation, and all areas within that vacation shall thenceforth be subject to all regulations appropriate to the respective extended districts.
All questions and disputes concerning the exact location of zoning district boundaries shall be resolved by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
