In lieu of a symbol, a color or black and white pattern may be used on the Official Zoning Map to identify each zoning district as indicated in the legend.

   (b)   Interpretation of Zoning District Boundaries: The boundaries of the zoning districts are shown upon the Official Zoning Map. The Official Zoning Map and all notations, references, and other information are a part of the UDO.

   (c)   Rules for Determination: When uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of zoning districts as shown on the Official Zoning 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 centerline 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 centerline or a property line, such zoning district boundary lines shall be parallel to a centerline or a property line and, in the absence of a specified dimension on the Official Zoning Map.

   (d)   Actual Conflict with Map: When the actual street or lot layout existing on the ground is in conflict with that shown on the Official Zoning Map, the party alleging that such conflict exists shall furnish an actual survey for interpretation by the Building Official.

   (e)   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 right-of-way.
