Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
(A) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of rights-of-way shall be construed to follow such center lines.
(B) Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following the lot lines.
(C) Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits shall be construed as following the city limits.
(D) Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to follow the center line of the right-of-way.
(E) Boundaries indicated as following shore lines or bodies of water shall be construed to follow the shore lines. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow the center lines. In the event of change in the shore line or center line, the line shall be construed as moving with the actual shore line or center line.
(F) Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in divisions (A) through (E) above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
(G) Where physical features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map or in other circumstances not covered by divisions (A) through (E) above, the Planning and Zoning Staff shall interpret the district boundaries.
(H) Where a district boundary line divides a zoning lot which was in existence as such lot at the effective date of this chapter, the Planning and Zoning Staff shall make a determination as to the appropriate zoning category for the zoning lot and adjust the boundary line accordingly.
