Section 405.060 District Boundaries.
[Ord. No. 11-2I Art. II §2, 8-19-2002]
A.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts shown on the Zoning District Map, the following rules shall apply:
1.
Where a boundary line is given a position within a street, highway right-of-way, alley or stream, it shall be deemed to be in the center of the street, highway right-of-way, alley or stream, and if the actual location of such street, highway right-of-way, ally or stream varies slightly from the location as shown on the Zoning District Map, then the actual location shall control.
2.
Where a boundary line is shown as being located a specific distance from a street line or other physical feature, this distance shall control.
3.
Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, such boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines and where the districts are bounded approximately by lot lines, said lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary of such districts unless said boundaries are otherwise indicated on the map.
4.
In unsubdivided property, unless otherwise indicated, the district boundary line shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning District Map.
B.
Whenever any street, alley, public way, railroad right-of-way, waterway or other similar area is vacated by proper authority, the districts adjoining each side of such street, alley, public way, railroad right-of-way or similar area shall be extended automatically to the center of such vacation and all area included in the vacation shall then and thenceforth be subject to all appropriate regulations of the extended districts. In the event of a partial vacation, the adjoining district, or district nearest the portion vacated, shall be extended automatically to include all the vacated area.
