   Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning Districts 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.

   (d)   Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be the midway between the main tracks.

   (e)   Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines and, in the event of change in the shoreline, shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline; boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerline of streams, rivers, canals, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

   (f)   Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections (a) through (e) above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the Map.

   (g)   Where physical or natural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official Zoning Map, or in other circumstances not covered by subsections (a) through (f) above, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall interpret the district boundaries.

   (h)   Insofar as some or all of the various districts may be indicated on the Zoning Map by patterns which, for the sake of map clarity, do not cover public rights-of-way it is intended that such district boundaries do extend to the center of any public right-of-way.

(Res. 24-95. Passed 2-13-95.)

   Wherever any street, alley, or other public way within the City of Davison shall be vacated, such street, alley, or other public way or portion thereof shall automatically be classified in the same zoning district as the property to which it attaches.

(Res. 24-95. Passed 2-13-95.)

   Wherever any area is annexed to the City of Davison, one of the following conditions will apply:

   (a)   Land that is zoned previous to annexation shall be classified as being in whichever district of this Zoning Code that most clearly conforms with the zoning that existed prior to annexation. Such classification shall be recommended by the Planning Commission to the City Council, and the Council shall approve the same by resolution.

   (b)   Land not zoned prior to annexation shall be automatically classified as an RA through A-3 District until a Zoning Map for said area has been adopted by the City Council. The Planning Commission shall recommend the appropriate zoning districts for such area within three months after the matter is referred to it by the City Council.
