ZONING MAP

301 ZONING MAP

• A. Maintenance of Zoning Map The City Clerk is the custodian of the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map. The Department of Planning and Development is responsible for updating the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map when it is amended by the City Council and shall provide such amended text and maps to the City Clerk.

• B. Location of Districts

  1. The location and boundaries of the zoning districts established by this Ordinance are set forth in the Official Zoning Map, as periodically amended. The Official Zoning Map is incorporated into, and made an integral part of, this Ordinance.

• 2. It is the intent of this Ordinance that the entire area of the City, including all land and water areas, are included in the zoning districts established by this Ordinance. Any land lying within the City, but not shown on the Official Zoning Map as being included within a district, is classified as the R-1 District.

• • C. Interpretation of Boundary Lines

    1. Right-of-Way Lines Where zoning district boundary lines coincide with streets, highways, expressways, easements, railroads, or waterways (rivers, lakes, streams, or other bodies of water), the boundary line is construed to be the centerline of the right-of-way.

• 2. Property Lines Where zoning district boundary lines coincide with a recorded property line, the property line is construed to be the boundary line of the district.

• 3. Scaled Lines Where the district boundary lines do not coincide with a right-of-way line or recorded property line, the district boundary is determined by measuring such boundary line(s) by using the map scale as provided on the Zoning Map.

• 4. Clarification of Boundary Lines The Zoning Board of Review decides any interpretations of zoning district boundary lines, where there is doubt as to the boundary between two zoning districts.
