Designation of district boundaries. Boundaries indicated
as approximately following the center line of streets, railroad rights-of-way,
streams, rivers, existing lot lines or municipal boundary lines shall
be considered as following such features indicated. Where a district
boundary line does not follow such a line, its position may be shown
on said Official Zoning Map by a specific dimension expressing its
distance in feet from a street right-of-way line or other boundary
line as indicated and running parallel to said line.
B.Â
Boundary questions. In disputes over the exact location
of district boundaries as shown on the map, the Zoning Administrator
shall request the Board of Zoning Appeals to render its determination
with respect thereto.
