(A) The boundaries of the districts are shown on the map which is made a part of this chapter, which map is designated as the “district map.” The district map and all the notations references and other information shown thereon are a part of this chapter and have the same force and effect as if the district map and all the notations, references and other information shown thereon were all fully set forth or described herein. The original of the district map is properly attested and is on file with the City Clerk.
(B) (1) Any area not included within one of the districts as shown on the district map is a public street or alley and whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of the City Council, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all appropriate regulations of the extended districts.
(2) Submerged land which may hereafter be reclaimed unless otherwise indicated on the district map, shall be deemed to be in the same district as premises not now submerged to which such submerged lands are contiguous.
(C) Rules where uncertainty may arise: where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the map accompanying and made a part of this chapter, the following rules apply:
(1) The district boundaries are either streets or alleys unless otherwise shown, and where the districts designed on the district map are bounded approximately by street or alley lines, the street or alley shall be construed to be the boundary of the district;
(2) Where the district boundaries are not otherwise shown, and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines, and where the districts designated on the district map are bounded approximately by lot lines, shall be construed to be the boundary of the districts unless the boundaries are otherwise indicated on the map;
(3) In any unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines on the district map shall be determined by use of scale appearing on the map; and
(4) The spaces above the surface of streets or alleys are to be regarded merely as explanatory of the map and shall not be deemed to be a part of the district to which it is adjacent.
