7.6.109: ZONE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES:
Zone district boundaries on the Official UDC Map shall be interpreted as follows:
   A.   Unless otherwise indicated, the zone district boundaries are the centerline of streets, alleys, waterways, or railroad rights-of-way. Where street, alley, or other rights-of-way lie adjacent to each other, the zone boundary is the imaginary line bisecting the combined width of the adjacent rights-of-way or such line extended. The area within any of the rights-of-way is not granted any of the use rights associated with the overlaying zone district.
   B.   Where no rights-of-way exist and the zone boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot or block lines, such lines shall be considered as district boundaries.
   C.   In unsubdivided property or where a boundary divides a property, boundaries on the Official UDC Map shall be determined by use of the scale indicated on such maps unless otherwise dimensioned.
   D.   Whenever a public street, alley, or other right-of-way has been vacated, the zone district adjoining each side of the right-of-way shall be extended to the former centerline. The regulations associated with the zone district shall apply to the area of vacation.
   E.   Should an actual street layout or stream course vary from that shown on the map or any other uncertainty remain as to the location of a zone district boundary on the zoning map of the City of Colorado Springs, the map shall be interpreted in accord with Section 7.5.529 (Interpretation of UDC). (Ord. 23-03)
