8.1 STREETS OR ALLEYS

Where zoning district boundaries approximately follow lot, alley, or street lines, such lot lines and street and alley centerlines shall be construed as the zone district boundaries unless said boundaries are otherwise indicated. (Former Section INL#313-5(a); CZ#A311-10 (A); Ord. 519, Sec. 305, 5/11/65; Ord. 1705, 9/10/85)

8.2 SCALE ON MAP; DETERMINATION BY COMMISSION

Where the property is indicated on a zoning map or maps as acreage and not subdivided into lots and blocks, or where the zone boundary lines are not approximately street, alley or lot lines, the zone boundary lines on said zoning map or maps shall be determined by scale contained on such map or maps, and where uncertainty exists, the zone boundary line shall be determined by the Planning Commission. In the event property shown as acreage on the zoning map or maps has been or is subsequently subdivided into lots or lot and block arrangement does not conform to that anticipated when the zone boundaries were established, the Planning Commission, after notice to the owners of the property affected thereby, may interpret the zone maps in such a way as to implement the intent and purpose of these regulations and conform to the street, block and lot layout on the ground. Such interpretation shall be by written decision, and thereafter the copies of the zoning maps shall be changed to conform thereto. (Former Section INL#313-5(c); CZ#A311-10 (B); Ord. 519, Sec. 305, 5/11/65; Ord. 1705, 9/10/85; Amended by Ord. 2214, 6/6/00)

8.3 VACATED STREET OR ALLEY

Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the property formerly in said street or alley shall be included within the zone district or districts of the adjoining property on either side of said vacated or abandoned street or alley centerline. (Former Section INL#313-5(d); CZ#A311-10(C); Ord. 519, Sec. 305, 5/11/65; Ord. 1705, 9/10/85)

8.4Where a boundary line follows the bank of a watercourse, it shall be construed as following the top edge of the nearest bank, or if there is no identifiable bank, the stream transition line. (Former Section CZ#A311-10 (D); Ord. 1705, 9/10/85)

8.5Where a boundary line is indicated as following a watercourse, it shall be construed as the centerline of the watercourse. (Former Section CZ#A311-10 (E); Ord. 1705, 9/10/85)

8.6Where further uncertainty exists, the Planning Commission, upon written application or on its own motion, shall determine the location of the boundary in question, giving due consideration to the location indicated on the Zoning Map and the purposes set forth in the Principal Zone district regulations. (Former Section CZ#A311-10 (F); Ord. 1705, 9/10/85)
