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

1. Unless otherwise clearly indicated on the zoning map, the centerline of a street, alley, railroad right-of-way, river, stream, or other waterway shall be construed to be the zoning district boundary line.

2. Unless otherwise clearly indicated on the zoning map, the zoning district boundary line shall coincide with property lines, the centerlines of blocks, or the boundary lines of public lands.

3. Where the location of such zoning district boundary lines, as determined by the above rules, is not indicated by dimensions, such boundaries shall be located by the use of the scale appearing on the map.

4. Where the application of the above rules does not clarify the zone boundary location, the zoning administrator shall interpret the map and, by written decision, determine the location of the zone boundary and so notify the city planning commission and the city council of his/her decision.
