(a) Map.
(1) Where definite distances are not shown in feet on the Official Zoning District Map, the District Boundaries are intended to follow lot lines, the centerlines of existing streets, alleys, highway right-of-way lines, railroads and bodies of water. If the exact location of such lines are not clear, it shall be determined by either supplemental detail drawings or rules of interpretation, adopted by the concurring vote of the majority of the Board of Appeals.
(2) When the streets or alleys on the ground differ from the streets or alleys on the Official Zoning District Map, the Board of Appeals may apply the Zoning District designations on the map to the property on the ground in such manner as to conform to the intent and purposes of this section in the judgement of the Board.
(3) Whenever any street, alley or public way is vacated by official action of Village Council, the Zoning Districts adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall automatically be extended to the center of such vacation, and all area, including the vacation, shall then be subject to all regulations of the extended Districts.
(b) Text. In the interpretation of the text, the rules of interpretation contained in this Section shall be observed and applied, except when the context clearly indicates otherwise. The following rules apply to the text:
(1) The specific shall control the general.
(2) In case of any difference of meaning or implication between the text and any table, the text shall control.
(3) The word "shall" shall be mandatory and not discretionary. The words "may" or “should” shall be permissive.
(4) Words used in the present tense shall include the future; and words used in the singular number shall include the plural, and the plural the singular, unless the context clearly indicates the contrary.
(5) The phrase "used for" includes "arranged for", "designed for", "intended for", "maintained for", or "occupied for".
