Where a boundary line is shown as being located a specific distance from a street line or other physical feature, this distance shall control.

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.
