B. Interpretation of zoning district boundaries. If there is uncertainty about the location of any zoning district boundary shown on the official Zoning Map, the location of the boundary shall be determined by the Director as follows.

  1. Where a district boundary approximately follows a lot line, alley, or street line, the lot line, street or alley centerline shall be construed as the district boundary, as applicable;

  2. If a district boundary divides a parcel and the boundary line location is not specified by distances printed on the Zoning Map, the location of the boundary will be determined according to the Zoning Map; and

  3. Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the property that was formerly in the street or alley will be included within the zoning district of the adjoining property on either side of the vacated or abandoned street or alley.
