§ 17.06.010. Purpose.¶
This chapter establishes the zones applied to property within the City and adopts the City’s Zoning Map.
§ 17.06.020. Zoning Map and Zones.¶
The Council hereby adopts the City of Seaside Zoning Map (hereafter referred to as the “Zoning Map”), which is on file with the Department. The Zoning Map is hereby incorporated into this Zoning Ordinance by reference as though it were fully included here.
A. Zones established. The City of Seaside shall be divided into zones that implement the Seaside General Plan. The zones shown in Table 1-1 are hereby established, and shall be shown on the Zoning Map.
B. Interpretation of zone boundaries. If there is uncertainty about the location of any zone boundary shown on the official Zoning Map, the location of the boundary shall be determined by the Director as follows:
Where a district boundary approximately follows a lot line, alley, or street line, the lot line, street or alley centerline shall be construed as the district boundary, as applicable;
If a district boundary divides a parcel and the boundary line location is not specified by distances printed on the Zoning Map, the location of the boundary will be determined by using the scale appearing on the Zoning Map; and
Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the property that was formerly in the street or alley will be included within the zone of the adjoining property on either side of the vacated or abandoned street or alley.
