Where, due to the scale, lack of detail or legibility of the City zoning map, there is uncertainty, contradiction, or conflict as to the intended location of any zoning boundary, the exact location may be determined by utilizing the following standards.
1. Street lines: Where zone boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline or right-of-way line of streets, such lines shall be construed to be such zone boundaries.
