It is the intent of this zoning ordinance that the entire area of the village, including all land and water areas, be included in the zoning districts established by this zoning ordinance.

      1.   Right Of Way Lines: Where zoning district boundary lines coincide with streets, alleys, highways, easements, or right of way lines of railroads, toll roads or expressways, the boundary line shall be construed to be the centerline of said right of way.
      2.   Property Lines: Where zoning district boundary lines coincide with a duly recorded property line, the property line shall be construed to be the boundary line of the district.
      3.   Scaled Lines: Where the district boundary lines do not coincide with a right of way line or duly recorded property line, the district boundary shall be determined by measuring such boundary line(s) by using the map scale as provided on the Riverside zoning map.
      4.   Clarification Of Boundary Lines: The planning and zoning commission shall decide all interpretations of district boundary lines, where the application of the aforesaid rules leaves a doubt as to the boundary between two (2) zoning districts.
