Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply.
(A) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center line of thoroughfares or highways, street lines, highway right-of-way lines or alleys shall be construed to follow the center lines.
(B) Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following the lot lines.
(C) Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits shall be construed as following the city limits.
(D) Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
(E) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow the center lines.
(F) Boundaries indicated as approximately following floodplain lines shall be construed to follow the contour lines.
(G) Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in divisions (A) through (F) above shall be so controlled. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
(H) Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown as the Official Zoning Map, or in other circumstances not covered by divisions (A) through (F) above, the Board of Zoning Adjustment shall interpret the boundaries.
(I) Where a district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of passage of this chapter, the Board of Zoning Adjustment may permit, as a special exception, the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot not to exceed 50 feet beyond the district line into the remaining portion of the lot.
