(1) Where a boundary follows a public street or alley, the centerline of the street shall be the boundary. Where a boundary follows a parcel line, the parcel line shall be the boundary;

(2) Where a district boundary divides a parcel, the location of the boundary, unless indicated by dimension, shall be determined by referencing the adopted Zoning Map and/or legal description of the approved Zoning Map amendment case for the exact dimensions; and

(3) In case of an uncertainty, the Director shall determine the precise location of the zoning district boundary.
