A. 
The location and the boundaries of the districts designated in BMC § 17.12.010 are hereby established as shown on the map entitled “Zoning Map of the City of Brookings,” and hereafter referred to as the “zoning map.”
B. 
A copy of this map shall be maintained on file in the planning department and is hereby made a part of this code. Any revisions of said map, when an ordinance is duly entered, signed and filed with the city recorder as authorized by subsection (C) of this section, are a part of this code.
C. 
When the zoning of any area is changed by the city council in the manner prescribed by this code, the official zoning map shall be so revised that it accurately portrays said change and dated with the effective date of the adopting ordinance.
(Ord. 89-O-446 § 1; Ord. 09-O-649 § 2)
In making a determination where uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on said zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
A. 
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following right-of-way line of streets, alleys or highways, such lines shall be construed to be such district boundaries.
B. 
Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated in the manner authorized by law, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the centerline of the former right-of-way and all of the area included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
C. 
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries. If a district boundary divides a lot into two or more districts, the entire lot shall be placed in the district that accounts for the greater area of the lot by the adjustment of the district boundary; provided, that the boundary adjustment is for a distance of less than 20 feet. If an adjustment of more than 20 feet is required, the change in the district boundary shall be treated as an amendment.
