The boundaries of these districts
are shown upon the "District Map" which accompanies and is made a
part of this Chapter. Said map and all the information shown thereon
shall have the same force and effect as if all were fully set forth
or described herein. The original of this is properly attested and
is on file with the City Clerk.
[CC 1985 § 25-173; Ord. No. 277 § 3, 11-7-1966]
A.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to
the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the District Map,
the following rules shall apply:
1.
Where a boundary line is given a
position within a street, alley or non-navigable stream, it shall
be deemed to be in the center of the street, alley or stream, and
if the actual location of such street, alley or stream varies slightly
from the location as shown on the District Map, then the actual location
shall control.
2.
Where a boundary line is shown as
being located a specific distance from a street line or other physical
feature, this distance shall control.
3.
Where a boundary line is shown adjoining
or coincident with a railroad, it shall be deemed to be in the center
of the railroad right-of-way, and distances measured from a railroad
shall be measured from the center of the designated main line track.
4.
Where the district boundaries are
not otherwise indicated and where the property has been or may hereafter
be divided into blocks and lots, such boundaries shall be construed
to be the lot lines, and where the districts are bounded approximately
by lot lines, said lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary
of such districts unless said boundaries are otherwise indicated on
the map.
5.
In unsubdivided property, unless
otherwise indicated, the district boundary line shall be determined
by the use of the scale contained on such map.
