(2) Boundaries drawn approximately parallel to the centerlines of streams, drainageways, roads, roads, alleys or railroads or other rights-of-ways or parallel to property lines shall be construed to lie parallel to such centerlines or property lines at the distance therefrom noted upon the zoning map.
(3) Boundaries drawn approximately along or extending from platted lot lines or other property lines shall be construed to follow or to extend in a straight line from such lines
(4) The location of boundaries otherwise in question shall be determined by the dimensions or notations upon the zoning map.
(B) Where a zoning district boundary line as shown on the zoning map divides a lot or property which was in single ownership and of record at the effective date of this chapter, the uses permitted thereof and the other district requirements applying to the least restricted portion of the lot shall be deemed to extend over the entire lot, or for a distance of 50 feet from the district boundary line into the more restricted portion of the lot, whichever distance is less.
(C) Where a zoning district boundary line as shown on the zoning map divides a lot or property which has been consolidated into single ownership, subsequent to the effective date of this chapter, the uses permitted thereof and the other district requirements applying to the least restrictive portion of such lot may extend over the entire lot or for a distance of 50 feet from the district boundary line into the more restrictive portion of the lot, whichever distance is less, provided the owner of such property secures a special exception permit from the Board of Appeals pursuant to § 157.166.
