19.06.020 - Zoning map. ¶

This Development Code, together with the zoning map, is hereby adopted in conformance with current State planning, zoning, and development laws.

19.06.030 - Rights-of-way and vacated boundary lines. ¶

Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the property encompassed by said 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 such vacation.

19.06.040 - Uncertainty of boundaries. ¶

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 Section 19.06.030 (Rights-of-way and Vacated Boundary Lines), above:

A.

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

B.

Where a zone or area boundary divides a lot 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.

19.06.050 - Classification of annexed lands. ¶

Areas annexed to the City shall come into the City at their existing zone designation. If there is no prior designation or other ambiguities, the City Council shall determine the nearest comparable zone for the area. The zoning map shall then be amended to show the new City limits and zone.
