(a) Base zones are represented on the Official Zoning Maps to be prepared by the City. The Official Zoning Maps shall be identified as an exhibit accompanying the ordinance that the City Council approves for any zoning or rezoning action. The Official Zoning Maps are the authority for identifying the boundary of any application of a base zone.
(b) Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of zones shown on the Official Zoning Maps the following rules shall apply:
(1) Where a zone boundary follows a lot line, the lot line shall be the boundary.
(2) Where a zone boundary follows a public street, the centerline of the street shall be the boundary.
(3) Where any unzoned public right-of-way is officially vacated or abandoned, the zone boundary applied to abutting property shall be the centerline of the vacated or abandoned public right-of-way.
(4) Where a zone boundary divides a lot or parcel, the location of the boundary shall be determined by the scale contained on the Official Zoning Map.
(5) Where there is an obvious mistake that can be corrected by reference to documents on file or by reference to the legislative record, the City Manager may identify the zone boundary.
