Where the boundaries of a zoning district, as shown on the official zoning map, are uncertain, the following rules shall apply.
(A) Where boundaries approximately follow streets, alleys or highways, their centerlines or those lines extended shall constitute the zoning district boundaries.
(B) Where boundaries approximately follow lot lines, they shall be construed as following those lot lines.
(C) Where boundaries approximately follow city limits lines, they shall be construed as following those lines.
(D) Where boundaries are approximately parallel to the centerline of a street or highway, they shall be construed as being parallel to the centerline and at the distance from the centerline as indicated on the official zoning map. If a distance is not given, the location on the map shall be determined by using a scale.
(E) Where boundaries follow the shoreline of a stream, lake or other body of water, they shall be construed to follow that shoreline. In the event the shoreline changes, the boundaries shall be construed as moving with the shoreline. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerline of streams, rivers, drainage ditches or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow those centerlines.
(F) Where the application of these rules leaves a reasonable doubt as to the boundaries between two districts, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall interpret the boundary location.
(G) If a parcel or lot is divided by a zoning district boundary, the entire parcel or lot shall be subject to the requirements of the district encompassing the larger area within the parcel or lot.
