the same zoning district as the property abutting such streets, alleys,
public ways or railroad rights-of-way. Where the centerline of a street,
alley, public way or railroad right-of-way serves as a district boundary,
the zoning of such areas, unless otherwise specifically designated,
shall be deemed to be the same as that of the abutting property up
to such centerline.

Where district boundary lines are indicated as approximately following
lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

Where a lot of record is divided by a district boundary line, the
entire lot shall be construed to be within the district containing
more than one-half (½) of the area of the lot.
