The following rules shall be used to determine the precise location of any zoning district boundary shown on the official zoning map of the city:
(A) Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following the limits of any city, township or county boundary shall be construed as following such limits.
(B) Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following streets or railroad lines shall be construed as following the centerline of such streets or railroad lines.
(C) Zoning district boundary lines shown as following or approximately following platted lot lines or other property lines as shown on the Jo Daviess County Supervisor's Assessment Maps ("tax maps") shall be construed as following such lines.
(D) Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following the centerlines of streams, rivers, or other continuously flowing watercourses shall be construed as following the channel centerlines of such watercourses, and, in the event of a natural change in the location of such streams, rivers, or other watercourses, the zoning district boundary shall be construed as moving with the channel centerline.
(E) Zoning district boundaries shown as following or approximately following ridgelines or watershed boundaries shall be construed as following such lines.
(F) Zoning district boundaries shown as separated from any of the features listed in divisions (A) through (E) above shall be construed to be at such distances there from as are shown on the official zoning map. Where any uncertainty exists as to the exact location of a zoning district boundary line as shown on the official zoning map, the location of the line shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator.
