(Ord. 2011-01, 1-6-2011, eff. 1-6-2011; amd. Ord. 2017-09, 7-20-2017, eff. 7-20-2017; Ord. 2019-01, 1-3-2019, eff. 1-4-2019; Ord. 2019-02, 1-3-2019, eff. 1-4-2019; Ord. 2019-04, 1-17-2019, eff. 1-17-2019)

The boundaries of each of the said zones are hereby established as described herein or as shown on the map entitled "zoning map of Plain City", or as hereafter amended, a copy of which is attached to the ordinance codified herein, and all boundaries, notations and other data shown on said maps are made by this reference as much a part of this title as if fully described and detailed herein. Said maps shall be filed in the custody of the City Recorder and may be examined by the public subject to any reasonable regulations established by the City Recorder. (Ord., 11-14-1974; amd. 2003 Code)

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any zone, the following rules shall apply:

   A.   Wherever the zone boundary is indicated as being approximately upon the centerline of a street, alley or block, or along a property line, then unless otherwise definitely indicated on the map, the centerline of such street, alley or block, or such property line, shall be construed to be the boundary of such zone.

   B.   Wherever such boundary lines of such zone are indicated as being approximately at the line of any river, irrigation canal or other waterway, or railroad right-of-way, or public park or other public land, or any section line, then in such case the center of such stream, canal or waterway, or of such railroad right-of-way, or the boundary line of such public land or such section line shall be deemed to be the boundary of such zone.

   C.   Where such zone boundary lines cannot be determined by the above rules, their location may be found by the use of the scale appearing upon the map.

   D.   Where the application of the above rules does not clarify the zone boundary location, the hearing officer shall interpret the map. (Ord., 11-14-1974; amd. Ord. 2020-09, 5-21-2020)
