A. Any part of the city that has not been included in one of the wards on the City of Des Plaines Ward Map described in this chapter is included within the ward that: 1) is contiguous to the part; and 2) contains the least population of all wards contiguous to the part according to the 2020 decennial census.
B. If any uncertainty exists with respect to the intended boundaries of the wards shown on the City of Des Plaines Ward Map described in this chapter, the following rules will apply:
1. The ward boundaries are the centerlines of highways, streets, alleys, waterways, railroads, and other rights of way unless otherwise indicated. When the designation of a boundary line on the Ward Map coincides with the location of any right of way, the centerline of the right of way will be construed to be the boundary of the ward;
2. When a ward boundary does not coincide with the location of the centerline of any right of way but does coincide with a lot line, such lot line shall be construed to be the boundary of the ward. (Ord. M-30-12, 9-17-2012; amd. Ord. M-17-22, 5-16-2022)
