The boundaries of these districts are shown upon the zoning district map, which accompanies and is made a part of the ordinance codified in this title. The zoning district map and all the notations, references and other matters shown thereon are a part of this title and have the same force and effect as if the zoning district map and all the other notations, references and other matters shown thereon were all fully set forth or described in this title, the original of which zoning district map is properly attested and is on file with the city clerk.

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the zoning district map accompanying and made part of the ordinance codified in this title, the following rules shall apply:

A.

District boundaries are street lines, alleys, railroad rights-of-way or waterways, or lines which form the rear lot lines of adjacent and contiguous lots of a platted subdivision unless the dimensions of the district are indicated on the map.

B.

Where the district boundaries are not shown to be streets, alleys, railroad rights-of-way or waterways, and where the property has been, or may be held by one ownership and of record on the effective date of the ordinance from which this title is derived, is divided by a district boundary line, the entire lot shall be construed to be within the most restricted district; provided, that this construction shall not apply if it increases the more restricted frontage of the lot by more than twenty five feet.
