(Added by Ord. No. 2486CCS §§
1, 2, adopted June 23, 2015; Amended
by Ord. No. 2742CCS § 2, adopted April 11, 2023)
The boundaries of the Zoning Districts established by this Ordinance
are not included in this Ordinance but are shown on the Official Districting
Map of the City, maintained by the City Clerk. The Official Districting
Map, together with all legends, symbols, notations, references, zoning
district boundaries, map symbols, and other information on the maps,
have been adopted by the City Council and are hereby incorporated
into this Ordinance by reference, together with any amendments hereafter
adopted, as though they were fully included here.
(Added by Ord. No. 2486CCS §§
1, 2, adopted June 23, 2015)
A. Uncertainty of Boundaries. The following rules shall be employed
to determine the boundaries of a district as shown on the Official
Districting Map of the City:
1. Where
a district boundary is indicated as approximately following a street
or alley line or parcel line, the centerline of the street or alley
or the parcel line shall be the boundary.
2. A
district boundary that is indicated as approximately following parcel
lines, City limits, or extraterritorial boundary lines shall be construed
as following such lines, limits, or boundaries.
3. When
property is unsubdivided or where a district boundary divides a parcel,
the location of the boundary, unless it is indicated by dimension,
shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the Official
Districting Map of the City.
4. Where
any public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the
Zoning District regulations applicable to abutting properties shall
apply to the former centerline of the vacated or abandoned street
or alley.
5. Where
any private right-of-way or easement of any railroad, railway, transportation,
or public utility company is vacated or abandoned, the district regulations
applicable to abutting properties shall apply to the former centerline
of the vacated or abandoned right-of-way easement.
6. The
air rights above or the ground rights below any freeway, parkway,
highway, street, alley, or easement shall be in the same district
as is applicable to the property abutting the freeway, parkway, highway,
street, alley, or easement. In cases where a freeway, parkway, highway,
street, alley, or easement forms the boundary between districts, the
centerline of the right-of-way shall be the boundary.
B. Interpretations. In case of any remaining uncertainty, the Director shall determine the location of the district boundary. The Director's decision may be appealed to the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures in Section
9.37.130, Appeals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the district boundary uncertainty arises in the context of a discretionary permit application, then the location of the boundary shall be determined by the decision-making body for that discretionary permit application.
