When uncertainty exists as to the exact boundaries of a zone, the following apply:
(A) A street, alley, railroad right-of-way, watercourse channel, or other right-of-way must be included within the zone of the adjoining property.
(B) When the zone boundary is or approximately follows a street, alley, railroad right-of-way, watercourse, or other right-of-way, the centerline of that right-of-way will be considered as the boundary.
(C) When the zone boundaries approximately follow lot lines, section lines, or city limits, these lines will be considered the boundaries.
(D) On unsubdivided property or where the zone boundary splits the lot or parcel, the location of such boundary, unless indicated by dimensions, will be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map.
(E) The exact boundary will be determined by written decision of the Planning Commission in any case where uncertainty exists.
(F) When a street, alley, public or private right-of-way, or public or private easement that serves as a zone boundary is vacated, the new zone boundary will be at the new property line. Where the vacation does not result in a new property line, the zone boundary will be determined by written decision of the Planning Commission.
(G) Areas annexed to the city must be prezoned before coming into the city. If there is no prior designation, the Planning Commission will determine the appropriate zone for the area. The zoning map will then be amended to show the new city limits and zone.
