Unless zoning district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions or otherwise clearly shown or described, and where uncertainty exists with respect to any zoning district boundary as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

(a)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines, section lines or tract lines shall be construed to follow such lines.

(b)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, alleys or other public rights-of-way shall be construed to follow such centerlines. Where the street, alley or right-of-way has been vacated through official action of the governing body, the adjacent zoning district boundary shall be reconfigured to follow the centerline of the vacated right-of-way.

(c)

Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

(d)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following City limit lines shall be construed to follow such City limit lines.

(e)

Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines and in the event of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.

(f)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of canals, streams or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

(g)

Boundaries indicated as parallel to features described in paragraphs (a) through (f) above shall be construed as parallel to such features at the distance from the feature indicated on the zoning map. If a distance is not indicated on the zoning map, the distance shall be determined by the scale of the map.

(h)

If no distance, angle, curvature, description or other means is given to determine a boundary line accurately and the foregoing provisions do not apply, the same shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator by the use of the scale shown on said zoning map. In case of subsequent dispute, the matter shall be referred to the Board of Zoning Appeals, which shall determine the boundary.
