Where district boundary lines divide a lot or unsubdivided property, the location of any such boundary, if not indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by the use of the map scale appearing thereon.

If the district classification of any land is in question, it shall be deemed to be in the most restrictive adjoining district.

Where a lot is divided by one or more zoning district or municipal boundary lines, any building or land use established thereon shall comply with the regulations of the district in which such building or land use is located.
