§ 3.4. Rules for interpretation of district boundaries.

Where uncertainty exists as to the location of a district boundary line as delineated on the official zoning map, the precise location of the boundary line is to be determined as follows:

3.4.1.

Where a district boundary line is shown as following along or superimposed upon a lot or tract line (public or private), such lot or tract line shall be seemed to be the boundary line;

3.4.2.

Where a district boundary line is indicated by a designated number of feet, that distance shall control;

3.4.3.

Where a district boundary line is shown within or following along a highway, street, alley, or public thoroughfare, such boundary line shall be deemed to be in the center of that facility except in the cases where the side of said facility is designated as the boundary line;

3.4.4.

Where a district boundary line is shown as following along or superimposed upon a railroad track or tracks, such boundary line shall be deemed to be in the center of the tracks when there is one set of tracks, and in the center of the railroad right-of-way in the event that there are numerous tracks;

3.4.5.

Where a district boundary line is shown as following along or superimposed upon a stream, river, canal, or lake, such boundary line shall be deemed to be located in the center of the watercourse, except in cases where the bank (side) of [the] watercourse is designated as the boundary line;

3.4.6.

Where a district boundary line is shown as parallel to or an extension of features indicated in subsections [3.4.]1 through [3.4.]5, such boundary line shall be construed to be parallel to or an extension of the existing feature;

3.4.7.

Where a district boundary line is shown and its location cannot be determined by any of the rules in subsections 3.4.1 through 3.4.6, its precise location shall be determined by the board of zoning appeals [BZA], using a process of scaling on the map, from fixtures, objects, or other features shown on the maps.
