§ 153.017 INTERPRETATION OF ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.
   (A)   Generally. The boundaries of the zoning districts are shown upon the zoning district map. The zoning district map and all notations, references and other information shown thereon are a part of the zoning ordinance and have the same force and effect as if the zoning district map and all the notations, references and other information shown thereon were all fully set forth or described herein, a certified copy of which district map is properly attested and is on file with the Clerk of Council of the municipality.
   (B)   Rules for determination. When uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of zoning districts as shown on the zoning district map, the following rules shall apply:
      (1)   Along a street or other right-of-way. Where zoning district boundary lines are indicated as approximately following a center line of a street or highway, alley, railroad easement or other right- of-way, or a river, creek or other watercourse, such center line shall be the zoning district boundary.
      (2)   Along a property line. Where zoning district boundary lines are indicated as approximately following a lot line, such lot line shall be the zoning district boundary.
      (3)   Parallel to right-of-way or property line. Where zoning district boundary lines are indicated as approximately being parallel to a center line or a property line, such zoning district boundary lines shall be parallel thereto and, in the absence of specified dimension on the map, at such scaled distance therefrom as indicated on the zoning district map.
      (4)   Actual conflict with map. When the actual street or lot layout existing on the ground is in conflict with that shown on the zoning district map the party alleging that such a conflict exists, shall furnish an actual survey for interpretation by Council.
      (5)   Right-of-way vacation. Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of Council, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation, and all area included in the vacation shall then and hence forth be subject to all appropriate regulations of the extended district or districts.

      (3)   Conditional uses. A use designated as a conditional use shall be allowed in a zoning district when such conditional use, its location, extent and method of development will not substantially alter the character of the vicinity or unduly interfere with the use of adjacent lots in the manner prescribed for the zoning district.
