§ 16-381. Interpretation of district boundaries.

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

(1)

Use of property lines. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following street lines, alley lines and lot lines, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries. Where streets, highways, railroads, watercourses and similar areas with width are indicated as the district boundary, the actual district boundary line shall be the center line of such area.

(2)

Use of the scale. In unsubdivided property or where a zone boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map.

(3)

Street closure. Where any street or alley is hereafter officially closed, vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to each parcel of abutting property shall apply to that portion of such street or alley abandonment.

(4)

Board of adjustment. In case any further uncertainty exists, the board of adjustment shall interpret the intent of the map as to location of such boundaries.
