B.

The following rules shall apply for determining the boundaries of any district on the zoning map:

1.

Where boundaries are indicated as approximately following street and alley lines or other identifiable property or boundary lines, such lines shall be construed to be the district boundary. Where boundaries are indicated as within a street or alley, the center line thereof shall be construed to be the district boundary.

2.

In unsubdivided property, where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of the district boundary, unless the same shall be indicated by dimensions, shall be generally determined by the community development director by use of the scale appearing on the official zoning district map.

A symbol or symbols indicating the classification of property on the zoning district map shall in each instance apply to the whole of the areas within the zoning district boundaries.
