districts.

"R-1" Single-Family District until or unless otherwise classified
by ordinance. All territory which may hereafter be annexed to the
City shall be automatically classified in the "R-1" Single-Family
District until otherwise classified by ordinance.
E.
Boundary Lines. Where uncertainty exists with respect to
the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the District Map,
the following rules apply:
1.
The district boundaries are either streets or alleys unless otherwise
shown, and where the districts designated on the map are bounded approximately
by street or alley lines, the street or alley shall be construed to
be the boundary of the district.
2.
Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated, and where
the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and
lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines,
and where the districts designated on the map are bounded approximately
by lot lines, the lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary
of the districts unless the boundaries are otherwise indicated on
the map.
3.
In the unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines on the
map shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map.
4.
Where the application of the aforesaid rules leaves reasonable doubt
as to the boundaries between two (2) districts, the regulations of
the more restrictive district shall govern the entire parcel in question.
