zoning district line. The street or highway right-of-way line shall

the Circulation Element of the Master Plan. If no distance is given,
such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on
the Zoning Map.

Along railroad lines. Where district boundaries are
indicated as approximately connecting with the center line of a railroad
