  1. In the event that any uncertainty exists with respect to the intended boundaries as shown on Official Zoning Map, the Planning Director is authorized to interpret the boundaries.
  2. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zoning district shown on the Official Zoning Map, the precise location is to be determined as follows:
    1. Where a boundary line is shown as coinciding, binding along or super imposed upon a lot line, such lot line shall be deemed to be a boundary line.
    2. Where the location of a boundary line is indicated by a designated number of feet, that distance controls.
    3. Where a boundary line is shown as within or binding along a street, alley, waterway or right-of-way, the boundary line is deemed to be in the center of the street, alley, waterway or right-of-way except in the cases where the edge of the street, alley, waterway or right-of-way is designated as the boundary line.
    4. Where a boundary line is shown as binding along a railroad track or as being located a designated number of feet from a railroad track or where the location of a boundary line may be scaled from a railroad track, the nearest rail of the track designated controls.
    5. Where a boundary line is superimposed on a topographic elevation line, the precise location of the boundary line must be determined by field survey of the topographic elevation line, unless the topographic elevation has been relocated through grading subsequent to establishment of the boundary line.
    6. Where a boundary line is shown and its location is not fixed by any of the rules above, its precise location shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the map.
