(1989 Code § 12-210)
A. Specified; Uncertainty: The district boundary lines shown on the zoning district map are usually along streets, alleys, property lines or extensions thereof; where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
1. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow such center lines;
2. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines;
3. Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits shall be construed as following city limits;
4. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be the center line of the right of way, or if no center line is established, the boundary shall be interpreted to be midway between the right-of-way lines of such railroad;
5. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections A1 through A4 of this section shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the original zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map; and
6. Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of the city council or whenever such area is franchised for building purposes, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or other public way shall be automatically extended to the center line of such vacated street, alley or way, and all area so involved shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
B. Variances: Where physical features on the ground are at variance with information shown on the official zoning district map, or when there arises a question as to how or whether a parcel of property is zoned and such questions cannot be resolved by the application of subsection A of this section, the property shall be considered as classified A-1 restricted agricultural district, temporarily, in the same manner as provided for newly annexed territory and the issuance of a building permit and the determination of permanent zoning shall be in accordance with the provisions providing for amendments to the zoning ordinance and map. (1989 Code § 12-212)
