2. Location of Map. The location and boundaries of the districts contained herein are shown on the zoning map entitled the “Zoning Map of the City of Osceola, Iowa.” All boundaries, notations, and other data shown thereon, are hereby adopted as part of this Zoning Regulation and is as much a part of these Zoning Regulations as if such notions, references, and other matters were specifically set forth herein. Said “Zoning Map” is properly attested and is on file with the Clerk of the City of Osceola, Iowa. (See EDITOR’S NOTE at the end of Chapter 167 for ordinances amending the zoning map.)
3. Boundaries. The Boundaries of these districts are hereby established as shown on a map entitled “Zoning Map,” which accompanies and is hereby made a part of this ordinance. The district boundary lines on said map are intended to follow lot lines, the centerlines of streets or alleys, the centerlines of streets or alleys projected, railroad rights-of-way, or the corporate limit lines, all as they existed at the time of enactment of the ordinance; but where a district boundary line does not clearly coincide with lot lines, it shall be determined by scaling.
A. Where a district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership of record at the time of enactment of the ordinance, the rules applying to the less restricted portion of such lot shall be considered as extending to the entire lot. If the more restricted portion of such lot is more than 50 feet beyond said dividing district boundary line, such less restricted use shall be limited to the portion of the lot lying within 50 feet of said boundary line.
B. Questions concerning the interpretation of exact location of district boundary lines shall be determined by the Board of Adjustment according to rules and regulations which it may adopt, as hereinafter provided under Chapter 167.
