   Those districts established in § 151.0101 are bounded and defined as shown on a map entitled "Zoning District Map of Montgomery, Ohio".

§ 151.0103 INTERPRETATION OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.

   Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
   (A)   Where Boundaries Approximately Follow Streets, Alleys or Highways. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center line or street line of streets, the center line or alley line of alleys, or the center line or right-of-way lines of highways, such lines shall be construed to be such district boundaries.
   (B)   Where Boundaries Parallel Street Lines, Alley Lines or Highway Right-of-Way Lines. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center line or street line of streets, the center line or alley line of alleys, or the center line or right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Map. If no distance is given, such dimensions shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
   (C)   Where Boundaries Approximately Follow Lot Lines. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
   (D)   Vacation of Public Ways. Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated in a manner authorized by law, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation and all areas included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended district.
   (E)   Resolving Disputes. All uncertainties and disputes concerning the exact location of zoning district boundaries shall be resolved by the Board of Zoning Appeals.

§ 151.0104 ANNEXED LAND.
