§ 40-19
Administration.
(a)
District boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists, with respect to the boundaries of the various zoning districts as shown on the zoning district map accompanying and made a part of this chapter, the following rules apply:
(1)
The zoning district boundaries are either street or alley centerlines unless otherwise shown. Where the zoning districts designated on the map accompanying and made a part of this chapter are bound approximately by the street or alley centerline, the street or alley centerlines shall be construed to be the boundary of the zoning district.
(2)
Where the zoning district boundaries are not otherwise indicated, and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the zoning district boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines, and where the zoning districts designated by the zoning district map accompanying and made a part of this chapter, are bound approximately by lot lines, the lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary of the zoning districts unless the boundaries are otherwise indicated on the map.
(3)
In unsubdivided property, the zoning district boundary lines on the map accompanying and made a part of this chapter shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the map.
(4)
Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of the city council, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation and all area included in the vacation shall therefore be subject to all regulations of the extended zoning districts.
(5)
Where the streets or alleys on the ground differ from the streets or alleys as shown on the official zoning map, the street or alleys on the ground shall take precedence.
(6)
If none of the boundaries set forth in this subsection apply, the board of adjustment shall determine the location of the zoning district boundary.
(b)
Interpretation.
In interpreting and applying the provisions of this chapter, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public safety, health, convenience, comfort, morals prosperity and general welfare. It is not intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easements, covenants or other agreements between parties, except that if this chapter imposes a greater restriction this chapter shall take precedence.
