Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zone classification, the following rules shall apply: A. Where boundaries are indicated as approximately following street lines, alley lines, or lot lines, such lines shall be construed to be boundaries. B. Where boundaries divide lots, the location of such boundaries shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the underlying map, unless the boundaries are indicated by specific dimensions. C. If any public street, alley or other right-of-way is vacated or abandoned, the land formerly in such street, alley or right-of-way shall be included within the boundaries of the zone classification applicable to the adjoining property on each side. In the event such street, alley or right-of-way was a zone classification boundary, the new zone classification boundary shall be the former center line of such street, alley or right-of-way.
When a use is not specifically listed as permitted or conditionally permitted in a zone classification, the use is prohibited unless, in circumstances where this ordinance empowers them to do so, the planning director makes a determination that the use is substantially the same in character and intensity as those uses permitted or conditionally permitted in the zone classification.
