1. All uses, not specified within a particular zoning district, shall be prohibited unless the Planning and Zoning Commission determines on a case by case basis that a particular use is similar in nature to those specified.
2. Those uses which are not therein enumerated but are expressly permitted or conditionally permitted in any other zone are prohibited in said district.
   

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any district, the following rules shall apply:

1. Wherever the district boundary is indicated as being approximately upon the centerline of a street, alley, or block, or along a property line, then, unless otherwise definitely indicated on the map, the centerline of such street, alley, block, or such property line shall be construed to be the boundary of said district.
2. Whenever such boundary line of such district is indicated as being approximately at the line of any river, irrigation canal or other waterway, or railroad right-of-way, or public park or other public land, or any section line, then in such case the center of such river or stream, canal or waterway, or of such railroad right-of-way, or the boundary line of such public land or such section line shall be deemed to be the boundary of said district.
3. Where such district boundary lines cannot be determined by the above rules, their location may be found by the use of the scale appearing upon the map.
4. Where the application of the above rules does not clarify the district boundary location, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall interpret the map.
   

If the Local Jurisdiction is a municipality to which land is to be annexed, the Planning and Zoning Commission and Governing Body of the municipality shall proceed with rezoning procedures as required for land within the municipality and shall declare the land upon annexation to be zoned to the zoning district or districts determined appropriate by such procedures and by declaration of the Governing Body of the municipality.
