provided in this title are hereby established as shown on the official

to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map,
the following rules shall apply:
1. Public Ways: Boundaries indicated as approximately following the
center lines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to
follow such center lines.
2. Platted Lot Lines: Boundaries indicated as approximately following
platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
3. Railroad Tracks: Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines
shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
4. Variations From Map: Where, due to the scale, lack of detail, illegibility,
or where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are
at variance with those shown on the official zoning map, and there
exists any uncertainty, contradiction, or conflict as to the intended
location of any boundary as shown thereon, or in other circumstances
not covered by Subsections B1 through B3 of this section, the code
compliance officer shall make an interpretation of such map upon request
of any person and within a reasonable period. Any person aggrieved
by such interpretation may appeal such interpretation to the zoning
board of appeals.
5. Lots Of Single Ownership: Where a district boundary line divides
a lot under single ownership, the zoning board of appeals may extend
the regulations of either zoning district beyond the district line
into the remaining portion of the lot; provided, that the extension
shall not apply to any area more than 50 feet beyond the boundary
line of the district.
