The intent and purpose of this chapter is to establish general
provisions dealing with certain elements of zoning that cannot otherwise
be effectively provided elsewhere in this title, and attempt to eliminate
the degree of uncertainty which may tend to arise from time to time.
(Prior code § 9204.01)
Except as provided for in this title, no building or other structure
shall be erected, reconstructed, structurally altered, nor shall any
building, other structure or land be used for any purpose whatsoever
except as may be specifically provided for and allowed in this title.
The regulations contained in this title shall be deemed to be minimum
and not all inclusive.
(Prior code § 9204.08)
The intent and purpose of Chapters
18.10 through
18.38 is to establish, designate and classify zones which divide and segregate the city into various categories of land use development, and which are also shown on and made a part of the Official Zone Map.
(Prior code § 9205.01)
In order to classify, divide, segregate, regulate and restrict the uses of land, buildings and other structures, location, height and size of buildings and other structures, yards, courts and other open spaces, amount of land coverage, population concentration and density, and the environmental quality, sixteen classes of use zones, as set forth in Chapters
18.10 through
18.38 are hereby established and made a part of this title.
(Prior code § 9204.02; Ord. 799 § 2, 1991)

(Prior code § 9204.10)
A further refinement of the land use element, and other such
elements which may be applicable hereto, of the comprehensive general
plan, a comprehensive land use plan, which may consist of one or more
diagrams, known as "The Official Zone Map of the City of Pico Rivera,"
is hereby adopted and made a part of this title pursuant to the provisions
of Chapter 4, Division 1, Title 7 of the
Government Code of the state
of California.
(Prior code § 9201.04)
For the purposes of more readily identifying areas on the Official
Zone Map, such map may, for convenience, be divided into parts and
each such part be subdivided into units, and such parts and units
may be separately employed for the purposes of amending the map or
for any official reference thereto.
(Prior code § 9204.04)
The location and boundaries of the various zones, as contained in Chapters
18.10 through
18.38, shall be as shown and delineated on "The Official Zone Map of the City of Pico Rivera."
(Prior code § 9204.03)
Changes in and/or the establishment of zone boundaries shall be made by ordinance amending the provisions of this title, and by amending the Official Zone Map, as set forth in Article IV of Chapter
18.62, and such amendment or amendments shall become a part of this title.
(Prior code § 9204.05)
Wherever uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zone,
the following rules shall apply:
A. Where
such zone boundaries are indicated as approximately following public
street and alley right-of-way or lot lines, such right-of-way or lot
lines shall be construed to be such zone boundaries;
B. In
the case of unsubdivided property, and where a zone boundary divides
a lot or parcel of land, the location of such zone boundary or boundaries,
unless otherwise indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use
of the scale appearing on the Official Zone Map;
C. Where
a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the area
comprising such vacated street or alley shall automatically acquire
the zone classification of the property to which it reverts.
(Prior code § 9204.06)
Any legally existing lot of record which is vacant and/or otherwise
unimproved and is only considered to be substandard by reason of lot
area, shall be considered to be in compliance with the lot area requirements
of the zone classification with respect to development thereof.
(Prior code § 9204.09)
