Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately
coincide with lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said
boundaries, or where district boundaries are extensions of lot lines
or connect the intersections of lot lines, such lines shall be said
district boundaries.

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately
parallel to center lines of streets and highways, such district boundaries
shall be construed as parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom
as indicated on the Zoning Map.

Where district boundaries divide a lot, the location of such boundaries
shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Map
