The city council hereby adopts the city zoning map (hereafter
referred to as the zoning map) as the official designation of zone
boundaries on real property within the city. The zoning map shall
be regulated as set forth below.
A. Incorporated
by reference. The zoning map is hereby incorporated into this Development
Code by reference as though it were fully included.
B. Map amendments. Amendments to the zoning map shall follow the zoning amendment process established in chapter
17.22 (City Council Decisions) and shall be reflected on the city's zoning map.
C. Record
of zoning map changes. The zoning map and a record of all prior amendments
thereto shall be kept on file with the city clerk and shall constitute
the original record. Electronic and hard copies of the currently effective
zoning map shall also be kept on file with the planning department.
D. Relationship
to general plan. The zoning map shall implement and be consistent
with the city's adopted general plan.
E. Zone
symbol. Zones shall be illustrated on the zoning map as follows:
1. Each
base zone shall be shown on the zoning map by use of its representative
zone symbol, as listed in Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zones
and Subzones).
2. Each
adopted specific plan shall be delineated with the respective zone
symbol (SP ) and number to distinguish it from other adopted specific
plans and/or planned communities. This designation on the zoning map
serves to provide a reference to the corresponding master plan project
documents adopted by the city council.
3. Each
Overlay Zone shall be shown on the zoning map by use of its representative
symbol in conjunction with the base zone symbol (e.g., VL-H), as listed
in Table 17.26.020-1 (Rancho Cucamonga Zones and Subzones).
(Ord. No. 1000 § 4, 2022)
If there is uncertainty about the location of any zone boundary
shown on the zoning map, the precise location of the boundary shall
be determined by the planning director as listed below.
A. The
boundaries of a zone shall be the parcel lines of real property, unless
otherwise shown. Where a zone's boundaries approximately follow plot
lines, those lines shall be interpreted as the zone boundaries.
B. If
a zone boundary divides a parcel and the boundary line location is
not specified by distances printed on the zoning map, the location
of the boundary shall be determined by using the scale appearing on
the zoning map. Except as otherwise provided by this code through
integrated development, each portion of the property shall be developed
to the standards and allowed use provisions of the applied zone and
any applied overlay zone(s).
C. Where
the street layout on the ground or the parcel lines differs from such
layout or lines shown on the zoning map, the planning director shall
determine the exact boundary and the zoning map shall be amended to
conform to the layout on the ground.
D. Where
a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the property
that was formerly in the street or alley shall be included within
the zone of the adjoining property on either side of the centerline
of the vacated or abandoned street or alley.
