All land or territory annexed to the City after the effective date of this section shall be immediately classified in the R1 Zone and in Height District No. 1 (R1-1) unless the Council specifically determines otherwise by ordinance.

Any land or territory in the City which is not indicated on the Zoning Map as being in any zone shall be construed as being classified in the same zone as that existing on the side of the street opposite the subject land or territory, and the Zoning Map is hereby amended to indicate that zone without additional procedure.

In those portions of the City where height districts have been established, any land or territory which is not indicated on the Zoning Map as being in any height district shall be construed as being classified in the same height district as that existing on the side of the street opposite the subject land or territory, and the Zoning Map is hereby amended to indicate that height district without additional procedure.

Where uncertainty exists as to the zone or height district to be indicated on the map, the zone or height district shall be determined by the City Planning Commission by written decision.
