2. (2)
   Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
3. (3)
   Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerlines or street lines of streets, or the centerlines of right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale on the zoning map.
4. (4)
   In unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines on the zoning map shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map.
5. (5)
   Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of the city council, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacated area, and thereafter all land included in the vacated area shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
6. (6)
   Where the streets or alleys on the ground differ from the streets or alleys as shown on the zoning map, the streets or alleys on the ground shall control.
