(A) (1) Where, due to the scale, lack of detail, or illegibility of the zoning map there is any uncertainty, contradiction, or conflict as to the intended location of any zoning district boundary as shown thereon, the Planning Commission shall make an interpretation of said map upon request of any person.
(2) Any person aggrieved by any such interpretation may appeal such interpretation to the Common Council.
(B) The Planning Commission and the Common Council, in interpreting the zoning map or deciding any appeal, shall apply the following standards:
(1) Boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow the centerlines of such streets, highways, or alleys;
(2) Boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, platted lot lines or other property lines, such lines shall be construed to be said boundary lines;
(3) Boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, railroad lines shall be construed to lie midway between the main tracks of such railroad lines;
(4) Boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, the centerline of streams, rivers, or other continuously flowing watercourses shall be construed as following the channel centerline of such watercourses and the said boundaries shall be deemed to be at the limit of the jurisdiction of the city unless otherwise indicated;
(5) Boundaries shown as following, or closely following, the limits of political jurisdictions shall be construed as following such limits; and
(6) Where the application of the aforesaid rules leaves a reasonable doubt as to the boundaries between two zoning districts, the regulations of the more restrictive zoning districts shall govern the entire parcel in question, unless otherwise determined by the Common Council.
