Rules for the interpretation of zoning district boundaries are as follows:
(A) Zoning district boundaries will be construed to follow:
1. Corporate limits;
2. United States public land survey lines;
3. Property lines;
4. Centerlines of streets, highways, alleys, easements, railroad rights of way or extensions of such lines;
5. Soil mapping unit lines.
(B) Vacation of public streets and alleys will cause the vacated land to be automatically placed in the same district as the abutting side to which the vacated land reverts.
(C) Annexations to or consolidations with the city subsequent to the effective date specified in section 14-1-2 of this chapter will be classified in the most restrictive zoning district of contiguous property within the city of Spring Valley. However, parcels consisting of twenty (20) or more acres, and presently used for agricultural purposes, may, at the petitioner's election, be zoned agricultural district upon annexation.
