Chapter 17.28 — ADOPTION OF ZONING MAP

The city council hereby adopts the city zoning map (hereafter referred to as the zoning map) as the official designation of zone boundaries on real property within the city. The zoning map shall be regulated as set forth below.

• A. Incorporated by reference. The zoning map is hereby incorporated into this Development Code by reference as though it were fully included.

• B. Map amendments. Amendments to the zoning map shall follow the zoning amendment process established in chapter 17.22 (City Council Decisions) and shall be reflected on the city's zoning map.

• C. Record of zoning map changes. The zoning map and a record of all prior amendments thereto shall be kept on file with the city clerk and shall constitute the original record. Electronic and hard copies of the currently effective zoning map shall also be kept on file with the planning department.

• D. Relationship to general plan. The zoning map shall implement and be consistent with the city's adopted general plan.

• E. Zone symbol. Zones shall be illustrated on the zoning map as follows:

  1. Each base zone shall be shown on the zoning map by use of its representative zone symbol, as listed in Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zones and Subzones).

  2. Each adopted specific plan shall be delineated with the respective zone symbol (SP ) and number to distinguish it from other adopted specific plans and/or planned communities. This designation on the zoning map serves to provide a reference to the corresponding master plan project documents adopted by the city council.

3. Each Overlay Zone shall be shown on the zoning map by use of its representative symbol in conjunction with the base zone symbol (e.g., VL-H), as listed in Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zones and Subzones).

(Ord. No. 1000 § 4, 2022)

If there is uncertainty about the location of any zone boundary shown on the zoning map, the precise location of the boundary shall be determined by the planning director as listed below.

• A. The boundaries of a zone shall be the parcel lines of real property, unless otherwise shown. Where a zone's boundaries approximately follow plot lines, those lines shall be interpreted as the zone boundaries.

• B. If a zone boundary divides a parcel and the boundary line location is not specified by distances printed on the zoning map, the location of the boundary shall be determined by using the scale appearing on the zoning map. Except as otherwise provided by this code through integrated development, each portion of the property shall be developed to the standards and allowed use provisions of the applied zone and any applied overlay zone(s).

• C. Where the street layout on the ground or the parcel lines differs from such layout or lines shown on the zoning map, the planning director shall determine the exact boundary and the zoning map shall be amended to conform to the layout on the ground.

• D. Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the property that was formerly in the street or alley shall be included within the zone of the adjoining property on either side of the centerline of the vacated or abandoned street or alley.
