§ 62-1252. Interpretation of boundaries.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of zoning classifications as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

(2)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.

(3)

Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

(4)

Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow the high-water mark, and in the event of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving within the high-water mark. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

(5)

Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections (1) through (4) of this section shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by use of the scale on the zoning map.

(6)

In cases where the actual location of physical features varies from that shown on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by subsections (1) through (5) of this section, the board of county commissioners shall interpret the zoning classification boundaries.

(7)

All areas within the unincorporated areas of the county which are under water and are not shown as included within any zoning classification shall be subject to all of the regulations of the zoning classification which immediately adjoins the water area. If the water area joins two or more zoning classifications, the boundaries of each zoning classification shall be construed to extend into the water area in a straight line until they meet the other zoning classification.
