(A) District boundaries.
(1) Unless otherwise shown, the district boundaries are street lines, alley lines, or the subdividing or boundary lines of recorded plats, or the extensions thereof. Where the districts designated on maps accompanying and made a part of this LDC are approximately bounded by street lines, alley lines, or the subdividing or boundary lines of recorded plats, those lines or the extensions thereof shall be considered to be district boundaries.
(2) Where, due to the scale or illegibility of the district map or due to the absence of a street, alley, or recorded subdividing of plat lines, there is any uncertainty, contradiction, or conflict as to intended location of any district boundary, the Planning and Economic Development Department Director shall have the power and duty of interpreting the intent of the district maps so as to determine and designate the proper location for the district boundary in accordance with the spirit and purpose of this LDC.
(3) Where a zoning district boundary divides a lot or parcel, the location of such boundary, unless indicated by legal description with distance and bearing or other dimension, shall be determined by the scale of the zoning district map by the Planning and Economic Development Department Director.
(4) Where a zoning designation conflict may occur, the Planning and Economic Development Director shall determine the official zoning district classification.
(5) The Planning and Economic Development Department Director shall enter changes on the official zoning map as soon as is practical after a zoning change is approved by the City Commission. Where the ordinance enacting a zoning change contains wording explaining or clarifying the location of zoning district boundaries, the Planning and Economic Development Department Director may enter on the official zoning map notations reflecting the ordinance wording.
(6) Land that is not indicated on the official zoning pap as being in any zoning district shall be considered to be included in the most restrictive adjacent zoning district that complies with the future land use map designation, even when such district is separated from the land in question by a right-of-way.
(7) Zoning of annexed lands. All lands annexed to the corporate limits of the city shall retain their existing county zoning classifications. For this purpose, all published material establishing the rules, regulations, and limitations governing and restricting the use of property under such zoning classifications shall be adopted in this LDC by reference. Such zoning classifications shall be presumed to be valid classifications of the lands annexed and shall not be subject to change, except upon initiation of a zoning change pursuant to the LDC, by either the city or the owners of the property annexed.
