An alternative would be to locate a section of taxi rank a couple of
hundred yards away from the station buildings, which is inside the
City.

Borough boundaries can be moved. The boundary of Enfield was moved to
match the M25 in the 1990s.

Not just boroughs, but whole counties. Back in the day the boundary
between Hertfordshire and Cambridgshire went down the main street in
Royston. It was later moved to co-incide with the northern bypass.

ObRail/Hackney: Which means the railway station moved from Cambs to
Herts, and would affect which licensees were able to ply for hire
there.

The relatively recent Royston boundary move was less drastic than you say.
It moved from the high street to the then northern edge of the town in the
nineteenth century.
