§ 1.3.2. Interpretation of Map Boundaries

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any zoning district on the Official Zoning Map, the Director is authorized to interpret the boundaries using the following methods.

A.

Where a district boundary line is shown as approximately following the centerline of a street or highway, or an extension of a street or highway, the district boundary is the centerline of that street or highway.

B.

Where more than one district applies to a property, and the district boundary line is shown as running approximately parallel at a distance from a street, the distance from the centerline must be determined by the use of the map scale.

C.

Where a district boundary line is shown as approximately following a lot line, the district boundary is the lot line.

D.

Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated or abandoned by official action of the City Council, the zoning district adjoining each side of the street, alley or public way will be automatically extended to the center of the street, alley or public way.

E.

Where a boundary line is shown and its location is not fixed by any of the rules of this Division, its precise location is determined by scaling from streets, objects or structures shown on the Map.
