(Ord. 458. Passed 1-4-89.)

   Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:

   (a)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

   (b)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.

   (c)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following City limits shall be construed as following City limits.

   (d)   Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

   (e)   Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines, and in the event of a change in the shoreline, shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

   (f)   Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections (a) through (e) hereof shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the Official Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the Map.

   (g)   Where physical or natural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map, or in other circumstances not covered by subsections (a) through (f) hereof, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall interpret the district boundaries.

   (h)   Insofar as some or all of the various districts may be indicated on the Zoning Map by patterns which, for the sake of Map clarity, do not cover public rights of way, it is intended that such district boundaries extend to the center of any public right of way.

(Ord. 458. Passed 1-4-89.)

   Where uncertainty exists with respect to a use permitted in any district, or under any other condition set forth in this Zoning Code, the following rules shall apply:

   (b)   Uses not specifically permitted in a zoning district shall not be permitted uses of land and shall be prohibited.

(Ord. 458. Passed 1-4-89.)

   Whenever any area is annexed to the City, one of the following conditions shall apply:

   (a)   Land zoned prior to any annexation to the City shall be zoned to a like or to the most nearly similar district, upon annexation, provided such zoning is in harmony with the City's Comprehensive Development Plan.

   (b)   Land zoned prior to any annexation to the City, the zoning of which is contrary to the recommendations of the Comprehensive Development Plan, shall be zoned to a district which corresponds to the recommendations of the Comprehensive Development Plan.

(Ord. 458. Passed 1-4-89.)

   Whenever any street, alley or other public way within the City is vacated, such street, alley or other public way, or portion thereof, shall automatically be classified in the same district as the property to which it is attached.

(Ord. 458. Passed 1-4-89.)

   All buildings and uses in any district shall be subject to the following applicable provisions:

   (a)   Those set forth for the use in the particular use district; and

   (b)   Those set forth in Chapters 1260, 1292, 1294, 1296 and 1298.

(Ord. 458. Passed 1-4-89.)
