Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any of the zoning districts shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply. Where more than one of the following rules are applicable in any given situation, the first enumerated and applicable rules shall prevail:

Where the district boundary line is shown by a specific dimension, such specific dimension shall control.

C.
Where a dedicated street or alley shown on the zoning map is vacated by resolution or ordinance, the property formerly in the street or alley shall be included within the zone of the adjoining properties on both sides of the vacated street or alley. In the event the centerline of the vacated street or alley was the boundary between two or more different zones, the zone boundary remains the former centerline of the vacated street or alley.

Where a district boundary line is shown as approximately following platted lot lines, the district lot lines shall be deemed to coincide with such platted lot line.

Where a centerline of a dedicated or vacated street or alley is the boundary between zones, that boundary may be extended across acreage, blocks, or large lots as deemed appropriate by the planning commission and city council.
F.
Where zone boundary lines are not approximately street, alley, or lot lines, whether existing, vacated, or extended, and where the zoning boundaries are not accompanied by present or future detailed maps of smaller scale and lot text notations on zone depth from the centerline or frontage of a street, then the boundary lines of the zoning map shall be determined by the scale contained on such map.
