The boundaries of the districts are those shown upon the map designated as the "district map," approved by the Board of Aldermen as part of the Zoning Code, as certified by the signatures of the President and the Clerk of the Board of Aldermen thereon, and filed in the office of the Building Commissioner or such other office or department of the City as may be hereafter provided by ordinance. Said district map and all notations, references and other information shown thereon are a part of the Zoning Code and have the same force and effect as if the district map and all notation, references and other information shown thereon were fully set forth or described in this Code.

(1994 C., § 26.12.020; Ord. No. 59979, § 4(part), 1986.)

When uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the aforesaid district map, the following rules will apply:

A.

The district boundaries are either streets or alleys unless otherwise shown. Where the designation on the said district map indicating the various districts are approximately bounded by street or alley lines, the street or alley shall be construed to be boundary of such district.

B.

Where the district boundaries are not street or alley lines, and the property has been subdivided into blocks and lots the district boundary lines shall be considered as the rear lot line on all interior lots; provided, however, that at corners of intersecting streets where lots front on the intersecting street the district boundary line shall be considered to extend for a distance of one hundred (100) feet from the corner along the intersecting street.

C.

In all other cases the district boundary lines on the said district map shall be determined by use of the scale contained on such district map.
