This map replaces the map prepared by Christine Ballard, P.E., P.P., T&M Consulting Engineers, last revised February 4, 2010.

[Amended 2-22-2010 by Ord. No. 2010-6; 10-11-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-31]

When, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and of state law, changes are made in district boundaries or other matters portrayed in the Official Zoning Map, such changes will not become effective until the Official Zoning Map has been amended, with an entry bearing an additional notation explaining the most recent change thereto, such as:

[Amended 2-22-2010 by Ord. No. 2010-6; 10-11-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-31]

	"On June 9, 2009, by Ordinance No. 2009-19, and on September 28, 2009, by Ordinance No. 2009-39, the governing body made the following changes in the Official Zoning Map:

No changes of any nature shall be made to the Official Zoning Map except in conformity with the above procedure. Any unauthorized changes to the map or its contents by any person or persons shall be considered a violation of this chapter.

Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is included as an attachment to this chapter.

Interpretation of district boundaries.

Zone district boundaries are intended to follow street, lot or property lines, or other natural lines such as the center line of watercourses, ditches or lagoons, unless such district or zone boundaries are fixed by dimension on the Zoning Map or by description and shall include contiguous riparian lands subsequently acquired and/or filled and lands acquired by accretion or stream diversion by natural causes.

In constructing the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:

Boundaries indicated as following the center lines of streets, highways or alleys or streams, rivers or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.

Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in Subsection B(2)(a) through (c) above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the Official Zoning Map shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.

Where a zone district boundary fixed by dimensions approximately follows and is not more than 20 feet distant from a lot line, such lot line shall be construed to be the zone boundary.
