The boundaries between districts are as shown by lines properly identified as District Boundary Lines and shown on the Zoning Map. Where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any districts as shown on said map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
District boundary lines are intended to follow or be parallel to the center line of streets, streams and railroads; and lot or property lines as they exist on plans of record at the time of the adoption of this chapter, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.
B.
Where a district boundary is not fixed by dimensions and where it approximately follows lot lines and where it does not scale more than 10 feet therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.
C.
In unsubdivided land or where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the map.
§ 27-204 Interpretation of Boundaries.
