(Ord. 273 § 2.040, 1998)

Unless otherwise specified, zone boundaries are section lines, subdivision lines, lot lines, center lines of street or railroad right-of-way or such lines extended. Whenever any uncertainty exists as to the boundary of a zone as shown on the zoning map or amendment thereto, the following regulations shall control.

A.

Where a boundary line is indicated as following a street, alley or railroad right-of-way, it shall be construed as following the center line of such right-of-way.

B.

Where a boundary line follows or approximately coincides with a section, lot or property ownership line, it shall be construed as following such line.

C.

Where a zone boundary divides a land parcel under a single ownership into two zones, then the entire parcel shall be zoned for the less restrictive use by the adjustment of the boundaries, provided the boundary adjustment is a distance of not less than twenty (20) feet. If the adjustment involves a distance of more than twenty (20) feet, the procedure for a zone change shall be followed.

D.

Where a public street, alley, or railroad right-of-way is officially vacated, the zoning regulations applicable to abutting property on each side of the center line of such right-of-way shall apply up to the center line of such right-of-way on each respective side thereof. If the right-of-way is vacated in total to one property owner, the zoning of that abutting property shall apply to the total vacated property.
