Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zoning district shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

In unsubdivided property or tracts, where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of these boundaries, unless they are indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the official zoning map;

(3)

Where boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerline or right-of-way line of streets, alleys or highways, these boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the official zoning map. If no distance is given, this dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the official zoning map; and
