For unsubdivided land or where a zoning district boundary divides a lot, the location of the zoning district boundary, unless dimensions are indicated, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the Zoning Map.

In the case of any uncertainty as to zoning district boundaries on the Zoning Map, the Zoning Officer shall determine the zoning district boundaries; however, the Zoning Officer's determination may be appealed to the Zoning Hearing Board.
