§ 4-1003. Interpretation of zoning district boundaries.

A.

A district is represented by name in this ordinance and by letter or letter number combination or name-and-number combinations on the official zoning map. Where an area on the map is designated as a certain district, the zoning regulations pertaining to that district shall prevail.

B.

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

1.

Boundaries shown as following or approximately following the limits of any municipal corporation shall be construed as following such limits.

2.

Boundaries shown as following or approximately following streets shall be construed to follow the centerlines of such streets.

3.

Where a boundary line is shown adjoining or coincident with a railroad, it shall be deemed to be in the center of the railroad right-of-way. Distances shown as a measure from a railroad track shall be measured from the center of the designated track.

4.

Boundaries shown as following or approximately following the centerlines of streams, rivers, or other continuously flowing watercourses shall be construed as following the channel centerline of such watercourse taken at mean low water, and in the event of natural change in the location of such streams, rivers, or other watercourses, the zone boundary shall be construed as moving with the channel centerline.

5.

Boundaries shown as separated from, and parallel or approximately parallel to, any of the features listed in subsections 1. through 4. of this [sub]section B., shall be construed to be parallel to such features and at such distances there from as are shown on the map.

6.

Any abandoned public street shall have the adjoining zoning extended to the centerline of the road.

7.

If the actual location of any street, alley, or stream varies slightly from the location as shown on the zoning map, then the actual locations shall control.

8.

In unsubdivided property, unless otherwise indicated, the district boundary line on the map shall be determined by the use of the scale contained on such map. (11-17-16; 7-19-18; 11-15-18.)
