§ 315-3.3 DISTRICT ZONING MAP.
A.
Location of Districts.
The location and boundaries of the zoning districts established by this Ordinance are set forth in the Official Zoning Map, as periodically amended. The Official Zoning Map, and all the notations, references and other information shown thereon are incorporated into, and made part of, this Ordinance.
Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is included as an attachment to this chapter.
B.
Interpretation of Boundary Lines.
Where there is uncertainty as to the boundary of any district contained within this Ordinance or as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules apply:
1.
Unless indicated to the contrary on the Zoning Map, the boundary lines of districts are the centerlines of streets, or such lines extended, the centerlines of railroad rights-of-way, and the centerlines of watercourses.
2.
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the City boundary line, lot lines, or projections thereof, said boundaries are construed to be coincident with such lines.
3.
If a centerline or right-of-way line of a street, highway, railroad, public utility, or watercourse, which is approximately coincident with a district boundary, is moved, the district line is automatically adjusted to be coincident with such line.
C.
Clarification of Boundary Lines.
The Zoning Officer will decide any interpretations of zoning district boundary lines on the Zoning Map, where the application of this section leaves doubt as to the boundary between two zoning districts.
