The location and boundaries of each zoning district established by this chapter are as set forth in zoning district sections of this chapter and are shown on the Official Zoning Map. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules will apply:
(A) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerline of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
(B) Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
(C) Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits and orderly annexation boundaries shall be construed as following such city limits and orderly annexation boundaries.
(D) Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
(E) Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines, and in the event of change in the shoreline, the boundary shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streams, river canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
(F) Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in the above divisions (A) through (E) shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the Official Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
(G) Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variances with those shown on the Official Zoning Map, or in other circumstances not covered by divisions (A) through (E) above, the Planning Commission shall interpret the district boundaries.
(H) Where a district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of passage of this chapter, the Planning Commission may permit as a special exemption the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot not to exceed 50 feet beyond the district line into the remaining portion of the lot.
