This chapter specifies the authority and procedures to insure
the consistent interpretation and application of the requirements
of this title.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014)
A.
Minimum Requirements. The provisions of this title shall be
deemed to be the minimum standards required for the protection of
the public health, safety, and welfare.
B.
Conflicting Requirements. Where the provisions of this Zoning
Ordinance impose a more stringent development requirement or a greater
restriction upon the use of buildings or land than are imposed or
required by other laws, rules, and regulations, or by easements, covenants,
or agreements, the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance shall govern.
C.
Conflicts Between Provisions. In the event of any conflict
between Article II (Zoning District and Permitted Uses) and Article
III (General Development Regulations), the provisions of Article III
shall govern.
D.
Single Lot in Multiple Zoning Districts. In the event two
or more lots are merged through the approval of a lot line adjustment,
parcel or tentative map in compliance with Title 18 of this Code (Subdivisions),
such that a single lot is covered by two or more zoning districts,
the uses of that parcel shall be consistent with the zoning district
as shown for the portion of the lot on which the use is proposed to
be placed.
E.
Uncertainties in Zoning District Boundaries. Where the boundary
of any zoning district shown on the zoning maps is uncertain, the
Planning Manager shall apply the following rules to resolve such uncertainty:
1.
Where
a zoning district boundary approximately follows a lot, alley, or
street line, such lot line, or center line of such street and alley
shall be construed to be the boundary.
2.
If
a zoning district boundary divides a lot, and the boundary line location
is not otherwise designated, the location of the boundary shall be
determined by the use of the scale appearing on the Zoning Map.
3.
Where
a public street or alley is officially vacated by the City, the property
within the vacated portion of the street or alley shall be the zoning
on the adjoining property. Where the vacated street or alley was the
boundary of two or more districts, the new district boundary shall
be determined at the time of abandonment.
4.
The
“floodway” overlay zone refers to those areas in and along
Dry, Linda, Cirby and Antelope Creeks as shown in those certain aerial
photographic maps designated as “Official Floodplain Maps”
dated October 1973 of the City of Roseville and kept and maintained
in the office of the Director of public works.
5.
The
“floodway fringe” overlay zone refers to those areas in
and along Dry, Linda, Cirby and Antelope Creeks as shown in those
certain aerial photographic maps designated as “Official Floodplain
Maps” dated October 1973 of the City of Roseville and kept and
maintained in the office of the Director of public works.
(Ord. 5428 § 1, 2014; Ord. 6198 § 1, 2020)
The Planning Manager shall have the authority to issue administrative
interpretations of the provisions of this title to resolve ambiguities.
A.
Record of Interpretations. Whenever the Planning Manager determines
that the applicability or meaning of any of the standards of this
title are ambiguous, the Planning Manager may issue an official interpretation.
Official interpretations shall be in writing, and shall cite the provisions
being interpreted, together with an explanation of their meaning or
applicability in the particular or general circumstances that caused
the need for interpretation.
Any provision of this title that is determined by the Planning
Manager to be ambiguous shall be clarified by amendment as soon as
is practical. The Planning Manager shall maintain a complete record
of all official interpretations available for public review, indexed
by the section number of this title that is the subject of the interpretation.
