A. 
Location of Districts.
1. 
The location and boundaries of the zoning districts established by this ordinance are set forth in the Official Zoning Map, as periodically amended. The Official Zoning Map, and all the notations, references and other information shown thereon are incorporated into, and made part of, this ordinance.
2. 
It is the intent of this ordinance that the entire area of the City is included in the zoning districts established by this ordinance. Any land lying within the City, but not shown on the Official Zoning Map as being included within a district, is classified as the AG District.
B. 
Interpretation of Boundary Lines.
1. 
Right-of-Way Lines. Where zoning district boundary lines coincide with streets, alleys, highways, expressways, easements, or railroads, the boundary line is construed to be the center line of the right-of-way.
2. 
Property Lines. Where zoning district boundary lines coincide with a recorded property line, the property line is construed to be the boundary line of the district.
3. 
Scaled Lines. Where the district boundary lines do not coincide with a right-of-way line or recorded property line, the district boundary is determined by measuring such boundary line(s) by using the map scale as provided on the Official Zoning Map.
4. 
Clarification of Boundary Lines. The Zoning Administrator will decide any interpretations of zoning district boundary lines, where the application of this section leaves doubt as to the boundary between two zoning districts.
