The boundaries of zoning districts established in this Code are delineated upon the Comprehensive Zoning Plan (CZP) as found on the Sacramento County Parcel Viewer G.I.S. application, adopted by the Board of Supervisors. The CZP is incorporated by reference as part of this Code, and shall be maintained on file in the office of the Planning Director.

1.6.2. Interpretation of Zoning District Boundaries ¶
1.6.2.A. Rules of Interpretation
Where uncertainty exists with respect to any of the boundaries of the zoning districts, the following rules shall apply:
Where zoning district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center line of streets, highways, roadways, alleys, railroad rights-of-way, municipal boundaries lines, stream bed or canal lines, or property lines, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
No zoning district boundary shall be established to divide one lot into two or more districts unless approved by the Board of Supervisors.
In cases where the platted and physical rights-of-way do not coincide, the Planning Director shall determine the location of the zoning district boundary.
In un-subdivided property, zoning district boundaries shall be determined by use of the scale on the map. A legal description acceptable to the Planning Director shall be made available in the event of any dispute concerning zoning district boundaries.
Where a zoning district boundary is shown by specific dimension as being located at any given distance from any right-of-way line, such specific dimension shall govern.
