154.14.01           DISTRICTS AND BOUNDARIES ESTABLISHED
 
                           Said several districts and boundaries thereof are hereby adopted and established as shown on the Zoning Map of the City of Richmond, Indiana which map together with all notations, references, data, district boundaries and other information shown thereon shall be and are hereby made a part of this Ordinance. Said Zoning Map, properly attested, shall be and remain on file in the office of the Zoning Inspector.
 
154.14.02           DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
 
                           Except where referenced on said map to a street or alley lines or other designated line by dimensions shown on said map, the district boundary lines follow lot lines or the center lines of streets or alleys as they existed at the time of the adoption of this Ordinance; but where a district line obviously does not coincide with the lot lines or such center lines or where it is not designated by dimensions, it shall be determined by scaling.
 
154.14.03           LOT DIVIDED - EXTENSION OF DISTRICT
 
                           Where a district boundary line established in this Article or as shown on the Zoning Map divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of enactment of this Ordinance, the use authorized thereon and the other district requirements applying to the least restricted portion of such lot under this Ordinance shall be considered as extending to the entire lot, provided the more restricted portion of such lot is entirely within twenty-five (25) feet of said dividing district boundary line. The use so extended shall be deemed to be conforming.
 
154.14.04           UNCERTAINTY AS TO BOUNDARIES - INTERPRETATION
 
                           All questions concerning the exact location of district boundary lines shall be determined by the Zoning Inspector. Any person aggrieved by such decision of the Zoning Inspector may appeal such decision to the Board of Zoning Appeals pursuant to Article 61 hereof. (Ord. 95-1984)
 
154.14.05           VACATED STREET OR ALLEY
 
                           Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action as provided by law, the zoning district adjoining the side of such public way shall be extended automatically, depending on the side or sides to which such lands revert, to include the right-of-way thus vacated, which shall henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended district or districts.

                           In every case where property has not been specifically included within a district, the same is hereby declared to be in the R-1 District. (Ord. 5-1981)
