(A) Interpretation of district boundaries. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
(1) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow the center lines;
(2) Boundaries indicated as approximately following village limits shall be construed as following village limits;
(3) Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks;
(4) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams shall be construed to follow the center lines;
(5) Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in divisions (A)(1) through (4) above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by dimensions shown on the map, or in the absence of dimensions, by the scale of the map;
(6) All streets, alleys, public ways and railroad rights-of-way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same zone as the property immediately abutting upon such alleys, streets, public ways and railroad rights-of-way. The center line of a street, alley, public way or railroad right-of-way, unless otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be the district boundary; and
(7) Streets or alleys which are shown on the map and which have heretofore been vacated, or which are vacated hereafter, shall be in the same district as the land abutting both sides of the street or alley. If the land abutting each side of the street or alley was located in different districts before the street or alley was vacated, the center line of the vacated street or alley shall be the district boundary.
(B) Changes.
(1) If, by amendment to this chapter, any change is made in any district boundary or in any other matter shown on the official zoning map, the change shall be indicated on the map promptly after the amendment is adopted.
(2) The date of the latest updating of the official zoning map shall be shown on the face of the map.
