EXHIBIT A In determining the location of zoning district boundaries on the official zoning map accompanying and made a part of these regulations, the following rules shall apply: (1) Where boundaries are shown to follow streets or alleys, the centerline of such streets or alleys as they exist at the time of adoption of these regulations shall be the zoning boundary. (2) Where boundaries are shown to enter on cross platted blocks, property lines of lots, as they exist at the time of adoption of these regulations, shall be the zoning boundary. (3)In case of a district boundary line dividing a tract of property into two parts, the district boundary line shall be construed to be the property line nearest the district boundary line as shown. However, if the owner and/or developer of two or more contiguous tracts of property replats or combines such tracts in a manner to consolidate the tracts into one parcel resulting in the consolidated tract being divided by a district boundary into two parts, then in such cases the district boundary line shall be enforced at the location shown on the zoning map. (4) Where boundaries are shown on unsubdivided property, the location shall be determined by use of the scale shown on the zoning map unless dimensions are given on the zoning map.” Section 8 : That Chapter 106, “Zoning,” Article I. “In General”, Section 106-699 “Commercial and Industrial”, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of La Porte, Texas, is hereby amended to read as follows: “Sec. 106-699. - Commercial and industrial.
