The following rules shall be used to determine the precise location of any zoning district boundary when there is a discrepancy or uncertainty as to the precise location of the boundary:
(a) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries;
(b) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines or right-of-way lines of streets, or the center lines 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 dimensions shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map;
(c) Where a district boundary line is shown by dimensions or relationship as being located a specific distance from and parallel to a street or property line, such distance shall control;
(d) Where a district boundary line is shown as adjoining a railroad, it shall, unless otherwise fixed, be construed to coincide with the nearest boundary line of the railroad right-of-way;
(e) Where a district boundary line divides a parcel of land, the location of such boundary, unless related to fixed points on the property boundary, shall be determined by scale, and the parts of the lot shall comply with the regulations of the district in which each part is located;
(f) Where a district boundary line does not coincide with any of the aforesaid lines, and where it is not located by dimensions or fixed points shown on the map, it shall be determined by the scale appearing thereon;
(g) Whenever any street, alley, or other public way is vacated by official Council action, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley, or public way shall automatically be extended to the center of such vacation, and all areas within that vacation shall thenceforth be subject to all regulations appropriate to the respective extended district.
(h) All questions and disputes concerning the exact location of zoning district boundaries shall be resolved by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
