§ 152.402 ZONING MAP.

   (A)   This chapter divides the city into use districts and establishes regulations in regard to location, erection, construction, re-construction, alteration, and use of structures and land. The location and boundaries of the districts established by this text are set forth on the zoning map or the zoning overlay map entitled "City of Brooklyn Park Zoning Map" and the "City of Brooklyn Park Zoning Overlay Map," and referred to as the "zoning map" and the "zoning overlay map." Both maps are on file with the City Manager. The zoning map and the zoning overlay map and all the notations, references and other information shown on them have the same force and effect as if fully set forth in this chapter and made a part of this chapter by reference.
   (B)   The district boundary lines on the zoning map are intended to follow street right-of-way lines, the center line of streets, or lot lines unless a boundary line is otherwise indicated on the map. In the case of unsubdivided property or in any case where street or lot lines are not used as boundaries, the district boundary lines may be determined by use of dimensions or the scale appearing on the map.
   (C)   All Flood Hazard Overlay boundary decisions will be based on elevations on the regional (100-year) flood profile and other available technical data. Persons contesting the location of the district boundaries may be given a reasonable opportunity to present their case to the Board of Appeals and Adjustments and to submit technical evidence as defined in § 152.302.
