(a) Normally, all publicly owned rights-of-way for roads, streets, alleys, easements, or transit routes are classified in the least intense of adjacent zones. In order to define clearly the location of rights-of-way, the official zoning maps will not depict the zoning within existing rights-of-way.
(b) When an approved and adopted master or sector plan recommends zoning that is different from that specified in subsection (a) above for a publicly owned right-of-way for a road, street, alley, easement, or transit route, the district council may reclassify such right-of-way to the recommended zoning by the approval of a sectional map amendment or a local map amendment application. The official zoning maps will depict the zoning within such rights-of-way.
