The boundaries of the zoning districts are established as shown on the county zone district map. The zoning district and boundaries are adopted and established as shown on the zone district map, together with all notations, references, data, district boundaries, and other information thereof, and are made a part of this chapter by reference. The zoning map properly attested shall remain on file in the office of the Zoning Administrator. Zoning district boundaries shall be as follows:
(A) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines of streets, the center lines of alleys, or the center lines of highways, these district boundaries shall be construed as being the center line of that street, alley, or highway.
(B) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, the lot lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
(C) Where the boundary of a district follows a railroad line, the boundary shall be deemed located at the railroad right-of-way line.
(D) Where a boundary of a district follows a stream, lake, or other body of water, the boundary line shall be construed to be the centerline of the stream, otherwise at the limit of the jurisdiction of the county unless otherwise indicated.
(E) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following section lines, quarter lines, quarter-quarter section lines, or survey and claim lines, the lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
(F) Any area shown on the zoning map as park, playground, school, cemetery, water, street or right-of-way, shall be subject to the zoning regulations of the district in which it is located.
(G) Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated in the manner authorized by law, the zoning district adjoining each side of this street, alley or public way shall automatically extend to the center of the vacation and all area included in the vacation shall thereafter be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
(H) Where any land or territory within the jurisdiction of the county is not shown to be located in a district, the zoning regulations of the most restrictive adjoining district shall govern.
(I) The regulatory flood elevation at any point in question shall be the governing factor in locating a Floodplain District boundary on the land.
