(1) Zoning district boundaries are shown as heavy solid lines on the zoning map and may be superimposed on lighter lines designating platted lot lines, streets, and other physically identifiable ground features, unless specific distances in feet or angles, bearings, radii, or other references to a boundary line located are specified.

(2) Zoning district boundary lines, when located in streets or other public rights-of-way, shall be interpreted as being located in the centerline of such rights-of-way. When distances expressed as linear footage are shown between a zoning district and a street, the distance shall be interpreted as being between said boundary line and the centerline of said street, unless otherwise specified.

(3) Boundary lines between zoning districts which are interrupted on the zoning map to show street names or other identification numbers shall be interpreted as extending through such identification, unless otherwise specified.

(4) When the exact location of a zoning district boundary line is not clear, it shall be determined by the planning director, with due consideration given to the location as indicated by the scale of the zoning map. When, for any reason, the streets or alleys as they actually exist on the ground differ from the depiction of said streets and alleys as they are shown on the zoning map, the planning director may apply the district designations on the map to the streets on the ground in such manner as to conform to the intent and purpose of this code.

(5) Where a zoning district boundary line shown on the zoning map divides a lot of record, the property owner shall have the option of choosing either of the two districts to apply to the entire lot area, or may subdivide the lot to retain both districts as mapped; provided, that all of the standards and requirements of the relevant performance standards can be met. (Ord. 1110 § 3, 2002; Ord. 929 Ch. 3(C), 1995).
