In the event that a vacated street, alley, right-of-way or easement was the boundary between two (2) zones, the new zone boundaries shall be at the new property line and the vacated portion of the street, alley, right-of-way, or easement shall take the zone of the property abutting same and the new zoning boundary shall be at the new property line.

• D. If after the adoption of the above rules, uncertainty exists as to any zone boundary, the Commission shall, upon letter of request or upon its own motion, interpret the map and determine said boundary, and said determination shall be final and made a permanent public record.
