Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
(1) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerlines, street lines, or highway right-of-way lines, such lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.
(2) Where district boundaries are so dedicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.
(3) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following a parallel to a drainage course or other prominent physical feature, such drainage course, other prominent physical feature, or parallel line shall be construed to be said boundaries.
(4) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerline or street lines of streets, or the centerlines or right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimensions are determined by the use of the scale of said zone.
(5) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately perpendicular to the centerline or right-of-way lines of streets, highways, or drainage courses, such district boundaries shall be construed to be perpendicular to said streets, highways, or drainage courses.
(6) If unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines on the zoning map shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map.
(7) In the case of a district boundary line dividing a lot into two (2) parts, the district boundary line shall be construed to be the lot line nearest the district boundary line as shown.
(8) Whenever any street, alley, or other public way is vacated by official action of the city council, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley, or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such variation and all area included in the variation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
(9) Where the streets or alleys on the ground differ from the streets or alleys as shown on the zoning map, the streets or alleys on the ground shall control.
