The zoning administrator and the board of zoning appeals, in interpreting the zoning map or deciding any appeal, shall apply the following standards:

    Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow lot lines, or be parallel or perpendicular thereto, or along the center lines of alleys, rights-of-way or water courses, unless such boundary lines are fixed by dimensions shown on the zoning map.

    (2)

    Where zoning district boundary lines are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines or city limit lines, such lot lines or city limit lines shall be construed to be the district boundary lines.

    (3)

    In cases where district boundaries do not coincide or approximately coincide with street lines, alley lines or lot lines, and no dimensions are shown, the location of such district boundary lines shall be determined by the use of the map scale shown thereon.
