San Diego County Municipal Code Part Six General Regulations General Provisions

PART SIX: GENERAL REGULATIONS GENERAL PROVISIONS

The provisions of Section 6000 through Section 6999, inclusive, shall be known as the General Regulations. The purpose of these provisions is to set forth certain of the regulations which apply throughout the County or in several zones, and to clarify and amplify additional regulations applying within San Diego County

The General Regulations apply to all zones and all uses of land unless otherwise stated. Violation of the General Regulations is a violation of the Zoning Ordinance.

The boundaries of all zones shall be shown on an Official Zone Map maintained by the Director. Whenever the boundaries of zones are changed, or property is reclassified to another zone, the Director shall alter the Official Zone Map to reflect such changes.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zone, the following rules of construction shall apply:

a. Along Line. Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following street and alley lines or lot lines, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

b. Unsubdivided Property. Where a zone boundary divides a lot, or parcel, the location of such boundaries, unless the same are indicated by dimension, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on said zoning map.

c. Vacated or Abandoned Street or Alley. Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the area of comprising such vacated street or alley shall acquire the classification of the property to which it reverts.

d. Realigned Rights-of-Way in Certain Subdivisions. Where a proposed public street or alley shown on a tentative map forms a zone boundary, and such street or alley is realigned on the final map for the subdivision, the zone boundary shall be deemed to be the centerline of the street or alley as shown on the approved final map.

(Amended by Ord. No. 5508 (N.S.) adopted 5-16-79)

Areas of dedicated street or alley rights-of-way other than such as are designated on the zoning map as being classified in one of the zones provided in this ordinance shall be deemed to be unclassified and such unclassified streets shall be used only for purposes lawfully allowed.

If a Specific Plan has been adopted for property which is also subject to the S88 Specific Planning Area Use Regulations, any provisions of the Specific Plan relating to subjects contained in the General Regulations in this part shall prevail over The Zoning Ordinance regulations to the extent of any conflict between them.

(Added by Ord. No. 8581 (N.S.) adopted 9-20-95)
