§ 20.06.020. Interpretation of zoning district boundaries.


Latest version.
  • In the event that uncertainties exist with respect to the intended boundaries of the various zoning districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:

    1.

    All water areas, waterways, alleys, roads, streets, highways, railroads, and other rights-of-way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same zoning district as the property immediately abutting upon same.

    2.

    Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, alleys, railroads or waterways, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

    3.

    Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the lines of lots or other parcels of record and the distance by scale shows the boundary to be not more than ten feet distant from the lot line, the lot line shall be deemed to be the district boundary.

    4.

    Where a zoning district boundary divides a parcel of land, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the map, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing thereon, and scaled to the nearest foot.

    5.

    Any zoning district boundary shown extended to or into any body of water bounding the county shall be deemed to extend straight to the county boundary.
