§ 204. Determination of boundaries.  


Latest version.
  • The boundaries of the zoning districts established by this UDC shall be determined based on the location of the boundary as depicted on the official zoning map; provided, however, that the following provisions shall be used where uncertainty exists by the public development director to interpret the exact location of a zoning district boundary shown on the official zoning map:

    (a)

    Streets. Where boundaries of a zoning district are indicated as approximately following the centerline of streets or highways, street right-of-way lines or such lines extended, such centerline, street right-of-way lines or such lines extended shall be construed to be such boundaries. Where boundaries are indicated as approximately paralleling the centerline of streets or highways, the location of said boundaries shall be determined by using an engineering scale on the official zoning map.

    (b)

    Railroads. Where boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline or right-of-way of railroads, such centerline or right-of-way lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

    (c)

    County and city limit, militia district and land lot lines. Where boundaries are indicated as approximately following the county boundary, corporate limit line of the city, a militia district line, or a land lot line, such line shall be construed to be such boundaries.

    (d)

    Property lines. Where boundaries are indicated as approximately following property lines or such lines extended, such property lines or such lines extended, as indicated by boundary survey, deed or legal description maintained in the official file of said zoning adoption or amendment, if available, shall be construed to be such boundaries.

    (e)

    Water courses and drainage ways. Where boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline of a stream bed or river bed, or a drainage way, such centerline shall be construed to be such boundaries.

    (f)

    Abandoned or vacated right-of-way. Where a public street or other right-of-way is officially vacated or abandoned, and said street or right-of-way is also a zoning district boundary, the zoning district regulations applicable to the property to which it reverted shall apply to such vacated or abandoned public street or right-of-way.
