§ 23-403. Interpretation of zoning district boundaries.

The following rules shall be used to interpret the exact location of the zoning district boundaries shown on the zoning district map.

a. Where a zoning district boundary follows a dedicated public street or railroad, the centerline of the dedicated public street or railroad right-of-way is the boundary of the zoning district.

b. Where a zoning district boundary approximately follows a lot or property line, that line is the boundary of the zoning district.

c. Where a zoning district boundary follows a stream or the shore of a body of water, that stream or shoreline is the boundary of the zoning district.

d. Where a zoning district boundary does not clearly follow any of the features mentioned above, its exact location on the ground shall be determined by measurement according to map scale.

e. In any case where the exact location of a zoning district boundary is not clear, the administrative official shall refuse to issue a building permit or certificate of use. The applicant may appeal to the appeals board for an interpretation or administrative decision.
