19.03.020 Uncertain boundaries.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any district shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

(A) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of alleys, streets, highways, streams, or railroads shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

(B) Boundaries indicated, as approximately following the lot lines, city limits, or extraterritorial boundary lines shall be construed as following such lines, limits, or boundaries.

(C) In the case of unsubdivided property or where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless indicated by dimension, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the zoning map.

(D) In the case of any remaining uncertainty, the city council shall determine the location of boundaries.

(E) Where any public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to each parcel of abutting property shall apply to that portion of such street or alley added thereto by virtue of such vacation or abandonment.

(F) Where any private right-of-way or easement of any railroad, railway, transportation, or public utility company is vacated or abandoned and the property is unclassified, the property shall be automatically classified as being in the base zoning district most consistent with the property's general plan designation.

(G) All property in the city or hereafter annexed, and not otherwise classified by the city, is classified as being in the base-zoning district most consistent with the property's general plan designation if the property was not previously prezoned prior to annexation.
