Title III Land Use and Development | Humboldt County Code

the zone boundary line shall be determined by the Planning Commission. In the event property shown as acreage on the zoning map or maps has been or is subsequently subdivided into lots or lot and block arrangement does not conform to that anticipated when the zone boundaries were established, the Planning Commission, after notice to the owners of the property affected thereby, may interpret the zone maps in such a way as to implement the intent and purpose of these regulations and conform to the street, block and lot layout on the ground. Such interpretation shall be by written decision, and thereafter the copies of the zoning maps shall be changed to conform thereto.
