This chapter establishes the zoning districts applied to property
within the City and adopts the City's Zoning Map.
(Ord. 3677 § 1, 2004)
The Council hereby adopts the City of Santa Rosa Zoning Map
(hereafter referred to as the "Zoning Map"), which is on file with
the Department. The Zoning Map is hereby incorporated into this Zoning
Code by reference as though it were fully included here.
A. Zoning
districts established. The City of Santa Rosa shall be divided into
zoning districts that implement the Santa Rosa General Plan. The zoning
districts shown in Table 2-1 are hereby established, and shall be
shown on the Zoning Map.
B. Interpretation
of zoning district boundaries. If there is uncertainty about the location
of any zoning district boundary shown on the official Zoning Map,
the location of the boundary shall be determined by the Director as
follows.
1. Where
district boundaries approximately follow lot, alley, or street lines,
the lot lines and street and alley centerlines shall be construed
as the district boundaries;
2. If
a district boundary divides a parcel and the boundary line location
is not specified by distances printed on the zoning map, the location
of the boundary will be determined by using the scale appearing on
the zoning map or the legal description in the City ordinance that
adopted the Zoning District boundary; and
3. Where
a public street or alley is vacated or abandoned by an official action
of the City Council, the property that was formerly in the street
or alley will be included within the zoning district of the adjoining
property on either side of the vacated or abandoned street or alley.
If the adjoining properties are in different zoning districts, the
boundary lines shall be the centerline of the former street or alley,
and the extension of the side lot lines of the adjacent parcels.
C. Housing
Projects. There is no requirement to rezone a site for consistency
with the General Plan if a proposed housing project is consistent
with objective General Plan standards and criteria. The housing project
is required to comply with the objective standards and criteria of
the zoning district which implements the subject General Plan land
use, as shown in Table 2-1, Zoning Districts.
