When uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on an official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

A. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines;

B. Boundaries indicated as following platted outlines shall be construed to follow the lot lines in effect at the time the applicable zoning district was approved;

C. Boundaries indicated as following public land survey section or section subdivision lines shall be construed as following such section or section subdivision lines;

D. Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits shall be construed as following city limits;

E. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed as following the mean high water line at the shore and, in the event of a change in the shoreline, shall be construed as moving with the mean high water line of the actual shoreline;

F. Boundaries indicated as following approximately the centerline of streams shall be construed as following such centerlines;

G. In unsubdivided property, the location of any district boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the official zoning map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the official zoning map;

H. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extension of features indicated in subsections A through G above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the official zoning map;

I. Shorelands shall be considered to be within the same zone as the abutting upland;

J. Where boundaries do not show a zoning district extending into a public right-of-way, alley, private road, or other easement, the zone boundary and district immediately abutting shall extend to the center of the right-of-way, alley, road, or easement. It is the intent of this statement that all lands in the city are zoned and are subject to the provisions of this title. (Ord. 1194 § 9, 2010; Ord. 573 § 2, 1990).
