Areas of dedicated streets or alleys and railroad right-of-way designated on the Zoning Map as being classified in one of the zones provided in this title shall be deemed to be unclassified.

Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the area comprising such vacated street or alley shall acquire the classification of the property to which it reverts or, where is does not revert, to the classification of abutting property.

Where further uncertainty exists, the Planning Commission shall, by resolution setting forth its findings, determine the location of the zone boundary, which decision shall be a final determination thereof, unless appealed to the City Council.
