In the event of the need to determine the location of the boundary of a zoning district, the commission shall have the authority and jurisdiction to render a written determination of the boundary of a zoning district. The commission shall take into consideration the following criteria in rendering such determination:
(1) The policies and development standards pertaining to such zoning district.
(2) In areas divided into lots, a zoning district boundary shall follow the boundary of a lot, unless clearly intended to divide a lot for reasons of topography, landform or other natural or manmade feature.
(3) In areas not subdivided into lots, wherever a zoning district is indicated as a strip adjacent to and paralleling a right of way, the depth of such strips shall be in accordance with dimensions measured at right angles from the centerline of the right of way, and the length of frontage shall be in accordance with dimensions measured from section, quarter section or division lines, or centerlines of rights of way, unless otherwise indicated.
(4) Where a zoning district boundary follows a creek, stream, watercourse, drainage channel, floodway or other natural or manmade feature, such boundary shall be deemed to be the centerline of such creek, stream, watercourse, drainage channel, floodway or other natural or manmade feature, unless clearly intended to do otherwise.
(5) Where a zoning district boundary follows the right of way of any road, street, trail or other public or private right of way or easement, such boundary shall be deemed to be the centerline of such road, street, trail or other public or private right of way or easement, unless clearly intended to do otherwise.
