SECTION 9
ZONING; DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
§ 9.01 Zoning; District Boundaries.
The district boundary lines shown on the Zoning District Map are usually along centerlines of streets and alleys, property lines, or extensions thereof. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
(A)
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
(B)
Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
(C)
Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits shall be construed as following city limits.
(D)
Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to follow the established centerline of the right-of-way or if no centerline is established, the boundary shall be interpreted to be midway between the right-of-way lines.
(E)
Boundaries indicated as following shore lines shall be construed to follow such shore lines, and in the event of any change in the shore lines such change shall be construed as moving the zoning line.
(F)
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines, and in the event of a change in the centerline, shall be construed as moving with the centerline. The centerline shall be interpreted as being midway between the shore lines.
(G)
Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in 9(A) through 9(F) shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the Zoning District Map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
(H)
Whenever any street, alley, or other public way is vacated by official action of the City Council or whenever such area is franchised for building purpose, the zoning district that adjoins each side of such street, alley, or other public way shall be automatically extended to the centerline of such vacated street, alley, or highway and all area so involved shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
(I)
Boundaries indicated as dividing a lot or tract shall be construed as being located as shown on the Zoning District Map. Distances not specifically indicated on the Zoning District Map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
