§ 9101.04

This Development Code, together with the zoning map, is hereby adopted in compliance with current State planning, zoning, and development laws. Changes in the boundaries of any identified zones shall be made by ordinance. The boundaries, designations, and locations of the zones established by this Development Code shall be shown upon the map(s) entitled "Zoning Map for the City of Arcadia" and referred to in this Development Code as the Zoning Map. Any additional maps (e.g., setback map, height map) adopted shall also be a part of this Development Code by reference.

Where a public street or alley is officially vacated, the property areas associated with the vacated street or alley shall be included within the zone or zones of the adjoining properties. If the adjoining properties are in different zones, the boundary lines shall be the centerline of the former street or alley and the extension of the side yard lines of the abutting properties. In the event such street, alley, or right-of-way was a boundary between two or more different zones, the new zone or zone boundary shall be the property line that is created by the vacation.

If there is uncertainty about the location of a zone boundary shown on the official Zoning Map, the Director shall determine the location of the boundary in the following manner, except as provided in Subsection 9101.04.020 (Rights-of-way and Vacated Boundary Lines), above:

A.

Where a zone or area boundary approximately follows a parcel line, street line, or alley line, the parcel line, street centerline, or alley centerline shall be construed as the zone boundary.

B.

Where a zone or area boundary divides a parcel and the boundary line location is not specified by distances indicated on the subject map, the location of the boundary shall be determined by using the scale appearing on the map.

9101.04.040 - Classification of Annexed Lands.

A.

Any land annexed to the City of Arcadia shall be deemed to be zoned under such classification under this Development Code as is most nearly the equivalent zoning classification or General Plan land use designation of the City of Arcadia.

B.

Whenever it is deemed that the zoning of annexed lands is inconsistent with adopted General Plan land use policy or other City policies, the Commission may recommend and the Council may adopt the zone classifications which shall apply to the annexed lands in the manner prescribed in Division 7 (Permit Processing Procedures) for amending this Development Code.
