Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the zoning districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
(a) Where Boundaries Approximately Follow Streets, Alleys or Highways. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, alleys or highways, street lines, alley lines, or highway right-of-way lines, such centerlines, street lines, alley lines or highway right-of-way lines shall be construed to be such district boundaries.
(b) Where Boundaries Approximately Follow Lot Lines. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such district boundaries.
(c) Where Boundaries Parallel Street Right-of-Way Lines, Alley Lines, or Highway Right-of Way Lines. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately parallel to the centerlines or street lines of streets, the centerlines or alley lines of alleys, or the centerlines or right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
(d) Where Boundaries Follow Natural Features. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following a stream, lake or other body of water, such stream, lake or other body of water shall be construed as being the limit of the district, unless otherwise indicated.
(e) Vacation of Public Ways. Whenever any street, alley or public way is vacated in the manner authorized by law, the zoning districts adjoining each side of the street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacations and all areas included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
(f) Boundary Determination. Where the district boundaries cannot reasonably be determined by application of the above methods, City Council shall make the determination after recommendation by the Planning Commission, notice to property owners and a hearing, all as in a rezoning.
