Determination of boundaries
Unless otherwise indicated on the zoning map, the boundaries between districts shall be determined according to the following criteria:
(1) Where a boundary is shown as following a street, railroad, or utility right-of-way, the boundary shall be the centerline thereon, unless otherwise indicated.
(2) Where a boundary is shown outside of a street, railroad, or utility right-of-way and approximately parallel thereto, the boundary shall be deemed parallel to the nearest line thereof and the figure placed on the zoning map shall be the distance in feet between them as measured at a right angle from such line, unless otherwise indicated.
(3) Where the boundary of a district follows a river, stream, pond or other watercourse, the boundary line shall be deemed to be the limit of the jurisdiction of the city unless otherwise indicated. Unzoned lands and waters bordering upon or within the city shall be deemed to bear the zoning classification of the nearest adjacent zoned land and shall be subject to the same regulations of this chapter therewith.
(4) Where the location of a district boundary line is otherwise uncertain, the zoning officer shall determine its position in accordance with the distance in feet from other lines as given or as measured from the scale of the map.
(5) For those lots of record which are divided by a zoning district boundary, the regulations for either district shall apply, except that no zoning district shall in effect be extended for a distance greater than 100 feet.
(6) For those lots for which a split zone is created by an administrative subdivision, the zoning district being extended shall be used for accessory use only and not principal use.
(7) Whenever a split zone is being used for a more intense use, the activity shall follow the process and standards identified in article VIII, Development Plan Review, of the city zoning ordinance.
