The designations, locations, and boundaries of the zones listed in § 36-3.1 are set forth on the officially adopted Zoning Map or Maps of the City on file in the office of the City Clerk. The Zoning Map or Maps and all notations, references, data, and other information shown thereon and this chapter, shall together constitute the Zoning Ordinance.

All territory within the City shall be classified as a part of that zoning district recommended by the Planning Commission and adopted by the City Council in accordance with the General Plan. All territory shall retain its classification unless and until it is otherwise zoned in the manner prescribed by law. The City may pre-zone unincorporated territory within the General Plan area of the City for the purpose of determining the zoning that will apply to such territory in the event of subsequent annexation to the City. The procedure for such pre-zoning shall be as prescribed in § 36-23 of this chapter, and such pre-zoning shall become effective upon annexation of the territory to the City.

Except as other wise provided in this chapter:

• A. No building or part thereof or other structure shall be erected, altered, added to or enlarged, nor shall any land, building structure or premises be used, designated or intended to be used for any purpose, or in any manner other than as included among the uses listed in this chapter as permitted in the zone in which buildings, land or premises are located.

• B. No building or part thereof or structure shall be erected, reconstructed, or structurally altered to exceed in height the limit designated in this chapter for the zone in which the building is located.

• C. No building or part thereof or other structure shall be erected, nor shall any existing building be altered, enlarged, rebuilt, or moved into any zone, nor shall any open space be encroached upon or reduced in any manner, except in conformity to the yard, building site area, and building location regulations hereinafter designated for the zone in which such building or open space is located.

• D. No yard or other open space, off-street parking space, garage space, or loading space provided about any building for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this chapter shall be considered as a yard or open space, off-street parking space, garage space, or loading space for any other building, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.

• [1] Editor's Note: The Summary Chart of Zone Regulations is not contained herein, but can be found on file in the office of the City Clerk.

Where any uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of a zoning district as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

• A. Streets or Alleys: Where a zoning boundary line is indicated as following a street or alley, the center lines of such streets or alleys shall be construed to be the boundaries of such zones.

• B. Lot Lines: Where a zoning boundary line follows or coincides approximately with a lot line or property ownership line, it shall be construed as following the lot line or property ownership line.

• C. Scale on Map: Where a zoning boundary line is not indicated as following a street or alley, and does not follow or coincide approximately with a lot line or property ownership line, the zoning boundary line shall be determined by the use of the scale designated on the zoning map.

• D. Further Zoning Boundary Uncertainties: Where further uncertainty exists, the Planning Commission, upon receiving written application or upon its own motion, shall determine the location of the zoning boundary in question giving due consideration to the location indicated on the zoning map, the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance, the purposes set forth in the zoning district regulations, and any previous actions of the City Council or the Planning Commission.
