(2) 
The boundaries of each City-designated redevelopment area, or rehabilitation area, for which a redevelopment plan has been adopted were established via the individual ordinances adopting each respective redevelopment plan and are similarly depicted on the Zoning Map.
(3) 
Interpretation. In the event that any uncertainty exists with respect to the intended boundaries of the various zoning districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply. Unless otherwise indicated on the Zoning Map:
(a) 
Zoning district boundary lines shall be construed to coincide with the center lines of a man-made street, alley, parkway, railroad or other right-of-way or such lines as may be extended therefrom.
(b) 
Where a zoning district boundary line depicted on the Zoning Map appears to coincide with the line of a man-made street, alley, parkway, railroad or other right-of-way, the center line of such man-made street, alley, parkway, railroad or other right-of-way shall be construed to be the boundary of such zoning district.
(c) 
Where a zoning district boundary line depicted on the Zoning Map appears to coincide with a natural shoreline or waterline of a bay, lake, pond or other such feature, such lines shall be construed to be the boundary of such zoning district.
(d) 
Where a zoning district boundary line depicted on the Zoning Map appears to coincide with a platted lot line, such platted line shall be construed to be the boundary of such zoning district.
(e) 
Any zoning district boundary line not conforming with the foregoing Subsection B(3)(a) through (d) shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map.
(f) 
Where a single lot held in single ownership on the effective date of this chapter is divided by one or more zoning district boundary line(s), the entire lot shall be construed to be within the less restrictive of the zoning districts dividing such lot, unless any portion of the lot's frontage lies within a commercial zoning district, wherein the entire lot shall be construed to be within the commercial zoning district. Individual lots in common ownership but considered merged by the Tax Assessor shall not be considered "a single lot held in single ownership" for the purposes of this section.
(g) 
Zoning Map dimensions are in feet and are measured horizontally.
(h) 
Zoning district boundary lines extend vertically in both directions and apply to all air, surface and subsurface rights attendant to a particular lot.
(i) 
Overlay zoning district boundary lines for the Main Street Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District shall be considered to be the lesser of one lot or 250 feet from the street line in depth.
(j) 
In cases of uncertainty, disagreement or dispute as to the true location of any zoning district boundary line, conclusive determination of such location shall lie with the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
