Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zoning district as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply.
(A) Where such zoning boundaries are indicated as approximately following street lines, alley lines, and lot lines existing on or before the effective date of this chapter, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(B) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets or highways, street lines, or railroad right-of-way lines or such lines extended, such centerline, street lines, or railroad right-of-way lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(C) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerlines of streets, highways, or railroads, or rights-of-way of same, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel at such distance as indicated on the zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimensions shall be determined by use of the scale shown on the zoning map. However, when boundaries of the R-20 District run parallel to a road and dimensions are not given, it shall be assumed that the boundary lines run 500 feet from the road right-of-way.
(D) Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single ownership, the district requirements for the least restricted portion of such lot shall be deemed to apply to the whole lot, provided that such extensions shall not include any part of such a lot more than 35 feet beyond the district boundary line.
(E) In subdivided property, the location of zoning boundaries shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map.
(F) In subdivided property, the location of zoning boundaries shall be construed to be the nearest parallel lot lines; however, if the zoning boundaries lie at a scaled distance greater than 25 feet from any parallel or approximately parallel lot line, the boundary shall be determined by use of the scale.
