The following rules shall be used to determine the precise location of any zoning district boundary unless such boundary is specifically indicated on the Official Zoning Map:
(A) Where zoning district boundaries are delineated to follow, or follow approximately property lines, the property lines shall be considered as the district boundaries.
(B) Where zoning district boundaries are shown to follow, or approximately follow the centerline or right-of-way lines of highways, streets, or alleys, these centerlines or right-of-way lines shall be considered as the district boundaries.
(C) Where zoning district boundaries are shown to follow a railroad line, the middle of the main tracks of such railroad line shall be considered as the district boundaries.
(D) Where zoning district boundaries are shown to follow or approximately follow the limits of any municipal corporation, the corporation limits shall be considered the district boundaries.
(E) Whenever any highway, street, alley, railroad, or other public right-of-way is officially abandoned by the city, the adjoining zoning district boundary shall be automatically extended to the centerline of the abandoned right-of-way, and the area shall become subject to the regulations of the zoning district in which it is located. In the event that only a portion of a right-of-way is abandoned, the adjoining zoning district boundary, or the district boundary nearest the abandoned area shall be extended.
(F) Where zoning district boundaries are delineated to be parallel, or parallel approximately to centerlines or right-of-way lines, the district boundary shall be considered as being parallel and at such distance as shall be indicated on the Official Zoning Map. When no dimension is shown on the map, the distance shall be determined in accordance with the scale shown on the official zoning district map.
(G) In interpreting the text, the particular shall control the general.
(H) The phrase used for includes arranged for, designed for, intended for, maintained for, or occupied for.
