§ 152.446 ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.
   Zoning district boundary lines established by this chapter generally follow lot lines, the centerlines of railroad rights-of-way, street rights-of-way, watercourses or the corporate limit lines, all as they exist upon the effective date of this chapter.
   (A)   Appeals concerning the exact location of a zoning district boundary line shall be heard by the Council serving as the Board of Zoning Appeals.
   (B)   Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action by the city, the zoning district adjoining each side of the street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of the vacation and all area included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all appropriate regulations of the extended districts.
   (C)   All streets, alleys, public ways and railroad rights-of-way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same zone as the property in the most restrictive classification immediately abutting upon alleys, streets, public ways or railroad rights-of-way. Where the centerline of a street, alley, public way or railroad rights-of-way serves as a district boundary, the zoning of these areas, unless otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be the same as that of the abutting property up to the centerline.
   (D)   All areas within the corporate limits of the city which are under water and which are not shown as included within any zone shall be subject to all regulations of the zone which immediately adjoins the water area. If the water area adjoins two or more zones, the boundaries of each zone shall be construed to be extended into the water area in a straight line until they meet the other district at the halfway point and/or to the corporate limits.
