B. In the case of unsubdivided property where a zone boundary divides a lot, the location of the boundary, unless the boundary is indicated by dimensions or legal description, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the zoning map.

D. Any submerged lands to be reclaimed by fill for use as a land area shall be prezoned prior to city approval of the fill. The prezone shall be consistent with the general plan. Permitted fill activities required in an emergency for the protection of public health or safety shall be exempt from this requirement. (Ord. #1563, §3)
