Vacation.

Interpretation of zone boundaries. When uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning District Map, the following rules shall apply:
District boundary lines are either the center lines of railroads, highways, streets, alleys, easements, lot and tract lines, or such lines extended, unless otherwise indicated.
Wherever a district is indicated as a strip adjacent to and paralleling a railroad, highway or street, the depth of such strips shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the Zoning Map measured at right angles from the center line of a railroad, street or highway, and the length of lot frontage shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the Zoning Map measured along the center line of the railroad, highway or street, unless otherwise indicated.
[Amended 6-7-2021 by Ord. No. 764]
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single ownership, the regulations for either portion of the lot may, at the owner's discretion, extend to the entire lot, but not more than 25 feet beyond the boundary line of the district.
