§ 17.12.020. Zoning map.¶
There is an adopted city of Angels zoning map. The map constitutes a portion of this section and is incorporated in this title. The symbols displayed on the zoning map equate to the zones established by Section 17.12.010.
Exhibit A of the ordinance codified in this section outlines changes to the zone district map consistent with the City of Angels 2020 General Plan. (Ord. 270 (part), 1984; Ord. 446, 2010; Ord. 456, 2012; Ord. 464 § 1, 2014; Ord. 481 § 1, 2018)
§ 17.12.030. Boundary determination rules.¶
Zone boundaries shown on the map adopted in Section 17.12.020 shall be further determined as follows:
A. The boundary of a zone abutting the city limits shall be such limits.
B. Where a zone boundary is shown as approximately following a property line, a section line
or a line of a legal subdivision of a section, or where such boundary is located not further
than fifteen feet from such lines, the zone boundary shall coincide with such lines.
C. Unless otherwise shown, the boundary of a zone abutting a street, waterway, or similar
right-of-way shall be the centerline of such right-of-way.
D. In all other cases, the location of a zone boundary shall be determined by using the scale
appearing on the map and on the surveys, records and other documents necessary to clarify
the description of land and boundaries shown on the map.
E. Zone boundaries shall extend vertically upward and downward from the ground.
F. Where a zone boundary divides a parcel under one ownership in existence before the
effective date of establishment of the zone boundary, and when not less than half the area
of such parcel lies in the less restricted zone, the regulations for the less restrictive zone
shall apply to the remainder of such parcel up to a distance of not more than thirty feet.
G. In case uncertainty exists on the location of a zone boundary, the commission, on request
or on its own initiative, shall determine the exact location of such boundary.
