1119.05 INTERPRETATION OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning District Map, the following rules shall apply:
(a) Roadways. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
(b) Lot Lines. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
(c) Municipal Limits. Boundaries indicated as approximately following municipal limits shall be construed as following municipal limits.
(d) Railroads. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be located in the centerline or the midway (if multiple) between the main tracks.
(e) Shorelines. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow the centerline of streams, rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines and in the event of a natural change in the watercourse way shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
(f) Map Interpretations. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections (a) through (e) above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official Zoning District Map shall be determined by the scale of the Map.
(g) Interpretations and Discrepancies. Where physical or natural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official Zoning District Map, or in other circumstances not covered by subsections (a) through (f) above, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall interpret the District boundaries.
(h) Extend to Centerlines. Insofar as some or all of the various Districts may be indicated on the Zoning District Map by patterns which, for the sake of map clarity, do not cover public rights-of-way, it is intended that such District boundaries do extend to the center of any public right-of-way.
