(a) Boundaries of the districts as enumerated in section
14.05.001 are hereby established and adopted as shown on the map attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter, which map is designated “Zoning Map.” The zoning map and all notations, references and information shown thereon are hereby made as much a part of this chapter as if set forth in this chapter.
(b) It shall be the duty of the city secretary to keep on file in that office the original of the zoning map. Duplicate copies thereof, showing all the changes, amendments or additions thereto, shall be kept on file in the office of the building official.
(c) When definite distances in feet are not shown on the zoning map, the district boundaries are intended to be along existing street, alley, or plotted lot lines, or an extension of existing street, alley, or plotted lot lines. If the exact location of such line is not clear, it shall be determined by the building official, with due consideration being given to location as indicated by the scale of the zoning map.
(d) When, on account of any vacation proceeding or for any other cause, the streets or alleys on the ground differ from the streets or alleys as shown on the zoning map, the building official may apply the district designations on the map to the streets or alleys on the ground in such manner as to conform to the intent and purpose of this chapter.
(e) Whenever any street or alley is vacated, the particular zoning applying to the property abutting on any such street or alley shall automatically be extended to the centerline of such vacated street or alley.
(f) All territory which may hereafter be annexed to the city shall automatically be classed as lying and being in AG Agricultural District until such classification shall have been changed as provided for by this chapter.
