Petersburg City Zoning Code

SECTION 4

- Interpretation of district boundaries.

(1)

A district name or letter-number combination shown on the district maps indicates that the regulations pertaining to the district designated by that name or letter-number combination extend throughout the whole area in the municipality bounded by the district boundary lines within which such name or letter-number combination is shown or indicated, except as otherwise provided by this section.

(2)

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

(a)

In cases where a boundary line is given a position within a street or alley or non-navigable stream, it shall be deemed to be in the center of the street, alley or stream and if the actual location of such street, alley or stream varies slightly from the location as shown on the district map, then the actual location shall control.

(b)

In cases where a boundary line is shown as being located in specific distance from a street line or other physical feature, this distance shall control.

(c)

In cases where a boundary line is shown adjoining or coincident with a railroad, it shall be deemed to be in the center of the railroad right-of-way, and distances measured from a railroad shall be measured from the center of the designated track.

(d)

Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated, and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines; and where the districts designated on the map accompanying and made a part of this ordinance are bounded approximately by lot lines, said lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary of such districts, unless said boundaries are otherwise indicated on the map or by ordinance.
