Wherever any uncertainty exists as to the boundary of a zoning district as shown on the Zoning Map, the following regulations shall control:
A. Where a boundary line is indicated as following a street, alley, or watercourse, it shall be construed as following the centerline thereof.
B. Where a boundary line follows or coincides approximately with a lot line or a property ownership line, it shall be construed as following the lot line or property ownership line.
C. Where a boundary line is not indicated as following a street or alley and does not follow or coincide approximately with a lot line or property ownership line, the boundary line shall be determined by the use of the scale designated on the Zoning Map.
D. Where further uncertainty exists, the planning commission, upon written application or on its own motion, shall determine the location of the boundary line in question, giving due consideration to the location indicated on the Zoning Map and the objectives of the Land Use Code set forth in the zoning district regulations.
E. Where less than half the area of any single lot or parcel of land lies in a zoning district more restrictive than the district that includes the remainder, the planning commission may permit the regulations of the less restrictive district to be applied to the entire lot or parcel.
