The boundaries of the above districts are shown upon official zoning maps. All the notations, references and other information shown thereon shall be as much a part of this title as if the matters and information set forth by said maps were all fully described herein.

B.

The official zoning maps shall be kept on file in the offices of the county zoning administrator.

Zoning district boundaries shall be determined by measurement from, and as shown on, the official zoning maps and in case of any questions as to the interpretation of such boundary lines, the zoning administrator shall interpret the map.

A.

Unless otherwise indicated or dimensioned on the maps, the zoning district boundaries are lot lines existing at the time of the generation of the zoning district map; section, quarter section, or sixteenth section lines; or the right-of-way line of streets, highways, rights-of-way or alleys.

Where a zoning district boundary line is indicated as following a public right-of-way, river, canal or lake, the edge of such feature shall be considered to be the boundary line of the district unless otherwise shown.

C.

The boundaries of public open space and open space zoning districts along a stream, canal, slough or watercourse as drawn are intended to represent the edge of swamps, marshes and floodplains or high water lines along a stream, canal, slough or watercourse and shall be finally determined by the actual conditions in each specific situation; provided, however, that along the stream, canal, slough or watercourse, such line shall not be less than one hundred feet from the center of such a stream, canal, slough or watercourse unless specifically designated otherwise on the zoning district map.
