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)
