Interpretation of district boundaries.
Montgomery City Code, App. C, art. I, § 4
in effectSec. 4. - Interpretation of district boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any district shown on said maps, the following rules shall apply:
a. Where boundaries are indicated as approximately following street and alley lines or land lot lines, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
b. In unsubdivided property or tracts where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundaries, unless same are indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on such maps.
c. Where a public road, street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to the property to which it is reverted shall apply to such vacated or abandoned road, street or alley.
d. Where boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerlines or street lines or to the centerlines or alley lines of alleys or the centerlines or right-of-way lines of highways, such boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the zoning maps. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the said maps.
e. In case any further uncertainty exists, the board of adjustment shall determine the location of boundaries. The board of adjustment may also cause to be prepared sectional maps of any part of the city which will interpret the exact location of the district boundaries, following the guidelines contained in the preceding paragraphs.
