(a) The Zoning District Map is not an exact or precise engineer's rendering but shall be considered a detailed approximation intended to accurately illustrate the zoning districts of the Village, however, the language printed on the Map is certain, accurate, and controlling. The District Map, including the language thereon, shall take precedence of a conflict between the Map and language in the Zoning Code.
(b) Boundary Interpretation. All zoning district boundary lines shown on the Zoning Map shall be interpreted and determined as follows:
(1) Where boundaries apparently follow lot lines and are not more than ten feet therefrom, the lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries;
(2) Where boundaries apparently follow streets, alleys or railroad lines, the center lines of such streets, alleys or railroad lines shall be construed to be such boundaries;
(3) Where boundaries apparently follow shore lines, the shore lines shall be construed to be such boundaries and, in the event of change in the shore lines, shall be construed as moving with the actual shore lines.
(4) Where boundaries approximately follow municipal corporation limits, such boundaries shall be construed as following such limits.
(5) In all other cases, the location of any boundary line, unless indicated by dimensions of the Zoning Map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
(c) Vacation of Public Ways. Whenever any street or public way is vacated by official action of Council, the zoning district adjoining each side of the street or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation and all area included in the vacation shall thereafter be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
(d) All territory which may hereafter be annexed to North Perry Village shall retain the same zoning classification as existed in the Township, or other annexed territory, at the time of annexation until the district map is amended in conformance with the procedures outlined in the Zoning Code.
(e) Where physical features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official District Map, or in other circumstances not covered by any of the above statements on District Boundaries, or if there is a dispute concerning the exact location of zoning district boundaries, the Village Planning Commission shall interpret the district boundaries.
