   C.   Zoning map--Interpretation. Where, due to the scale, lack of detail or illegibility of the official zoning map there is any uncertainty, contradiction or conflict as to the intended location of any zoning district boundary as shown thereon, the planning director shall make an interpretation of the map upon request of any person. Any person aggrieved by any such interpretation may appeal to the Planning Commission. The interpretation of the zoning map or deciding any appeal, shall apply the following standards:

      1.   Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow lot lines, or be parallel or perpendicular thereto, or along the centerlines of alleys, streets, rights-of-way or watercourses, unless such boundary lines are fixed by dimensions shown on the zoning map.

      2.   Where zoning district boundary lines are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundary lines.

      3.   Where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot, the location of any such zoning district boundary line, unless indicated by dimensions shown on the zoning map, shall be determined by the use of the map scale shown thereon.

      4.   If, after the application of the provisions of this section, uncertainty still exists as to the exact location of a zoning district boundary line, the boundary shall be determined in a reasonable manner by appeal to the City Council, considering the history of uses of property and history of zoning ordinances and amendments in the City as well as all other relevant facts.

   D.   Prezoning. When initiated by lawful petition, by recommendation of the Planning Commission or by action of the City Council, an area outside the city boundary but within the planning area may be prezoned under the provisions and regulations of this Title. The prezoned area

will not be subject to the legal force or effect of this Title until such time as the prezoned area is annexed to the City as provided by law. Any and all prezoned areas shall be recorded on the zoning map of the city. The procedures for initiation, hearings and action shall be as provided for rezoning in Chapter 17.06.
