District boundaries on the official zoning map shall be interpreted as follows:
(A) District boundaries shown within the lines of roads, easements, and transportation rights-of-way shall be deemed to follow the center lines.
(B) District boundaries indicated as following section or fractional sectional lines, platted lot lines, or county or county corporation lines shall be construed as following such lines.
(C) District boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of the above listed features shall be construed as so.
(D) District boundaries indicated as approximately following the center line of streams, rivers, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines.
(E) Where a district boundary line divides a lot at the time such line is adopted, the district in which the majority of the area of the property is included shall apply to the entire property. In cases where a property is divided equally between two or more zoning districts, the most restrictive district shall apply to the entire property. The Planning Director or the official designee shall determine the applicable zoning for properties divided into several zoning districts consistent with this section.
(F) If the Planning Director cannot definitely determine the location of a district boundary by such center lines, by scale or dimensions stated on the official zoning map, or by the fact that it does not clearly coincide with a property line, immediate action on any application shall be refused and the Plan Commission shall interpret the location of the district boundary with reference to the scale of the official zoning map and the purposes set forth in all relevant provisions of this chapter.
(G) Any ruling of the Planning Director or official designee pertaining to the district boundaries may be appealed to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
