Within sixty (60) days after the effective date of any annexation, the City shall, in accordance with the provisions of Section 410.200, propose a zoning plan of the annexed land for adoption.

Where the centerline of a street, alley, public way or railroad right-of-way serves as a district boundary, the zoning of such areas, unless otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be the same as that of the abutting property up to such centerline.
E.

1.
Where district boundary lines are indicated as following streets, alleys or similar rights-of-way, they shall be construed as following the centerlines thereof and if the actual location of such street, alley, easement, canal or stream varies slightly from the location as shown on the zoning map, then the actual location shall control;
2.
Where district boundary lines are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries; and
3.
Where a lot held in one (1) ownership and of record at the effective date of this Chapter is divided by a district boundary line, the entire lot shall be construed to be within the less restricted district; provided that this construction shall not apply if it increases the area of the less restricted portion of the lot by more than twenty percent (20%).
