18.08.010 Districts designated.

The districts are established by this title and are designated as follows: The uses for each zoning district are set forth in Chapters 18.09 through 18.28. (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

18.08.020 Zoning map.

The designations, locations and boundaries of the districts established are delineated upon the map entitled “City of Dorris Zoning Map,” which map and all notations and information thereon are made a part of this title by refer- ence. The zoning map is on file in the office of the city administrator. (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

Exceptions & meaning →

18.08.030 Determination of uncertain

boundaries. Where any uncertainty exists as to the cor- rect location of any zoning district boundary shown on the zoning map referred to in Section 18.08.020, it shall be the duty of the city coun- cil to establish and clarify the correct location thereof according to the intent of this title. (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

Exceptions & meaning →

18.08.040 Prezones.

Property outside of city limits shall be pre- zoned prior to annexation. Prezoning will be accomplished in the same manner as zoning amendments within the city and the application fee shall be as set by the city council. (See Chapter 18.38.) (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007)

Exceptions & meaning →

18.08.050 Split zoning.

Parcels with split zoning may be developed in conformance with the applicable zone dis- trict as long as each zoned area meets the min- imum parcel size requirement for the zone. If the zoned area does not have sufficient area to meet the minimum parcel size requirement for the zone district, such area may only be used for purposes permitted in the applicable zone dis- trict upon approval of a use permit. The most restrictive zone district will take precedence. The property may be rezoned to take advantage of the less restrictive zone. Consistent with the zone districts involved, the property could be split without the need for rezoning. (Ord. 210 § 3 (Exh. A) (part), 2007) Table 1 R-A Residential Agriculture R-1 Low Density Residential R-2 Medium Density Residential R-3 High Density Residential M-H Mobile Home Residential C-1 Community Commercial C-2 General Commercial M Manufacturing O-S Open Space P-A Public Agency PUD Planned Unit Development
