The boundaries of the listed zoning districts are hereby established as shown on the official zoning map of this municipality.

(Ord. No. 95-4, § 3-2, 4-12-1995; Ord. No. 2009-02, § 3(Exh. A), 4-8-2009)

In determining with precision what territory is actually included within any zoning district, the administrator shall apply the following rules:

(1)

The district boundaries are either streets or alleys unless otherwise shown and where the designation on the zoning maps indicates that the various districts are approximately bounded by the centerline of a street or alley, such street or alley centerline shall be construed to be the district boundary line.

(2)

Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be lot lines and where the designations on the zoning maps are approximately bounded by lot lines, such lot line shall be construed to be the boundary of the district.

(3)

In unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines shown on the zoning maps shall be determined by use of the scale shown on such maps.
