(a) The boundaries of the districts are shown upon the Map attached to original Ordinance 1775, passed October 22, 1973, which Map is hereby made a part hereof by reference and which Map is designated as the "Zoning District Map. " The Map and all notations, references and other information shown thereon are a part of this Zoning Code and have the same force and effect as if the Map and all the notations, references and other information shown thereon were all fully set forth or described herein. The original Map is properly attested and is on file with the City Clerk.
(b) 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; all area included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all appropriate regulations of the extended districts.
(c) Territory annexed to the City after the effective date of this Zoning Code (Ordinance 1775, passed October 22, 1973) shall continue to be governed by the zoning regulations which governed the territory annexed immediately prior to the annexation, as enacted by a board of county commissioners under Ohio R.C. 303.01 to 303.25, or by a board of township trustees under Ohio R.C. 519.02 to 519.25, as the case may be.
(d) All territory annexed to the City which is not zoned at the time of annexation shall automatically be placed in the RS-1 Residential District until otherwise changed by ordinance.

(Ord. 1775. Passed 10-22-73. )
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning District Map, the following rules apply:
(a) The district boundaries are either streets or alleys, unless otherwise shown, and where the districts designated on the Map are bounded approximately by street or alley lines, the street or alley shall be construed to be the boundary of the district.
(b) Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated, and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines, and where the districts designated on the Zoning District Map are bounded approximately by lot lines, the lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary of the districts, unless the boundaries are otherwise indicated on the Map.
(c) In unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines on the Zoning District Map shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the Map.
