District boundaries.
Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 520.100
in effect520.100. - District boundaries.
The following shall apply with respect to the boundaries of the various districts, as shown on the zoning district maps:
(1) District boundaries. District boundary lines are the centerlines of highways, streets, alleys, easements, right-of-way lines of limited access roadways, lot lines, or such lines extended unless otherwise indicated. In the event of closure of a street or alley, the district boundary shall be construed as the centerline of such vacated street or alley unless a specific amendment is made otherwise.
(2) Unsubdivided districts. In areas not subdivided into lots and blocks, where a district is indicated as a strip adjacent and parallel to a street or highway, the depth of such strip shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the map, measured at right angles from the centerline of the street or highway, and the length of such frontage shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the map from the centerline of the street or highway, unless otherwise indicated.
(3) Interpretation. Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the boundaries of a district, as shown on the official zoning map, as for example, where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped floodway or flood fringe district boundary and actual field conditions, the zoning administrator shall make the necessary interpretation.
(4) Changes in jurisdictional area. If territory is removed from the limits of the city, affected district boundaries shall be construed as moving with city limits. If territory is annexed to the city, it shall be construed as being in the UN1 District until formally amended.
(5) Unclassified areas. Unless areas are classified on the zoning map, or unless classification can be established by rules for construing the map as stated above, such areas shall be considered to be classified as being in the UN1 District for purposes of this zoning ordinance.
