When a symbol for a combining district is added to a base zoning district symbol, the regulations of the combining district shall be applicable in addition to the base zoning district regulations.

B.    Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

C.    In unsubdivided property, or where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of any such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown upon the zoning map(s), shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the zoning map(s).

D.    In case further uncertainty exists, the planning commission, upon written application, or upon its own motion, shall determine the exact location of such boundaries. (Ord. 796 Att. A(part), 1999)
