Chapter 17.06 ZONING DISTRICTS DESIGNATED
Section 17.06.020 Interpretation of district boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists with regard to the boundaries of
any of the Zoning Districts in the
City, as shown on the City's Zoning District Maps, the following rules shall apply:
A. In the event a discrepancy or inconsistency
exists between the City's currently effective
Zoning District Map and the boundaries of a Zoning District created by property descriptions
contained in the City Ordinances that zoned or rezoned the property or properties comprising the
Zoning District, the legal description contained in the applicable Zoning Ordinance or Zoning
Ordinances will control and shall preempt and take precedence over the Zoning District Map for
purposed of defining the boundaries of the Zoning District.
B. Where district boundaries are
indicated in Zoning Ordinances of the City as
approximately following the center lines of streets or highways, street lines or highway right-of-way
lines, the center lines, street lines or highway right-of-way lines shall be construed to be
such boundaries.
C. Where district boundaries are so
indicated in Zoning Ordinances of the City that they
approximately follow the lot lines, township lines, section lines, one-half section lines, one-quarter
section lines and one-eighth section lines, such lines shall be construed to be boundaries.
D. Where the boundary of a district
follows a railroad line, such boundary shall be deemed
to be located in the middle of the main tracks of the
railroad line.
E. Where the boundary of a district
follows a stream, lake, or other body of water, the
boundary line shall be deemed to be at the limit of the jurisdiction of the municipality, unless
otherwise indicated. (Prior code § 40-3-2)
