§ 154.051 INTERPRETATION OF ZONE BOUNDARIES.

   Where uncertainty exists with respect to any of the boundaries of the zones as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

   (A)   Where zone boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines of street, highway, or railroad rights-of-way or the lines extended, the center lines or the lines extended shall be construed to be such boundaries.

   (B)   Where zone boundaries are indicated as approximately following the corporate limit line of the city, the corporate limit line shall be construed to be the boundaries.

   (C)   Where zone boundaries are indicated as approximately following property lines or the lines extended, the property lines or the lines extended shall be construed to be the boundaries.

   (D)   Where zone boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center line or stream beds or riverbeds, the center lines or the lines extended shall be construed to be the boundaries.

   (E)   No zone boundary line shall hereinafter be established to divide one lot into two or more zones unless the size of the lot in question is such that division is determined to be essential by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council.

   (F)   Where a public street or alley, railroad, or utility right-of-way is officially vacated or abandoned, the property that was formerly in the right-of-way will be included within the zoning district of the adjoining property on either side of the centerline of the vacated or abandoned right-of-way or easement.

   (G)   In case of doubt or disagreement concerning the exact location of a district line, determination shall lie with the Zoning Administrator as defined under § 154.038. The determination of the Zoning Administrator may be appealed in accordance with the provisions of § 154.153.
