The boundaries of the City's Zoning districts are shown upon the map attached hereto and made a part of this Zoning Code, being designated as the "District Map" and such map and all the notations, references and other things shown thereon shall be as much a part of this Zoning Code as if the matters and things set forth by such map were all fully described herein.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the maps accompanying and made a part of this Zoning Code, the following rules shall apply:
(a) The district boundaries are either streets or alleys, unless otherwise shown, and where the designation on the maps accompanying and made a part of this Zoning Code indicating the various districts are approximately bounded by street or alley line, the centerline of such street or alley shall be construed to be the boundary of such district.
(b) Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be lot lines, and where the designation on the maps accompanying and made a part of this Zoning Code indicating the various districts are approximately bounded by lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary of such district, unless such boundaries are otherwise indicated on the maps.
(c) In the unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines on the map accompanying and made a part of this Zoning Code shall be determined by use of the scale contained on such map.
Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation, and all area included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all appropriate regulations of the extended districts.
All areas within the corporate limits of the City which are under water and not shown as included within any district, shall be subject to all of the regulations of the district which immediately adjoins the water area. If the water area adjoins two or more districts, the boundaries of each district shall be construed to extend into the water area in a straight line until they meet the other district.
Township zoning regulations in effect for territory annexed to or consolidated with the City subsequent to the effective date of the enactment of this section shall, upon the effective date of such annexation or consolidation, remain in force and effect for a period of time not to exceed nine months and shall be administered by the Division of Building and Zoning of the City.
