All areas within the corporate limits and urban growth boundary
of the City of Warrenton are divided into land use districts (also
known as "zones"). The use of each lot, parcel, and tract of land
is limited to the uses permitted by the applicable land use district.
The applicable land use district shall be determined based on the
Land Use District Map, and the provisions of this division.
A.
Consistency
with the Land Use District Map. The boundaries of each of the land
use districts contained within this division shall coincide with the
land use district boundaries identified on the official City of Warrenton
Zoning Map, retained by the City Recorder. Said map by this reference
is made part of this Land Development Code. A certified print of the
adopted land use map, and any map amendments, shall be maintained
by the City.
B.
Applicability
of Zoning Requirements. Each lot, tract, and parcel of land or portion
thereof within the land use district boundaries as designated and
marked on the zoning map, is classified, zoned and limited to the
uses as hereinafter specified and defined for the applicable district
classification.
C.
Land Use District Amendments. All amendments to the City land use district (zoning) map shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 16.232 of this Code.
1.
Copies
of all map amendments shall be dated with the effective date of the
ordinance adopting the map amendment, and shall be maintained without
change, together with the adopting documents, on file at the City;
and
2.
The
City shall make available for public inspection an up-to-date copy
of the revised land use district (zoning) map, so it accurately portrays
changes of zone boundaries or classifications, as applicable.
Where there is uncertainty, contradiction or conflict (scale,
lack of detail or illegibility) as to the intended location of district
boundary lines, the boundary lines shall be determined by the Community
Development Director in accordance with the following:
A.
Boundaries
indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets,
highways, railroad tracks or alleys shall be construed to follow such
centerlines.
B.
Boundaries
indicated as approximately following the boundaries of a parcel, lot,
or tract, shall be construed to follow such boundaries.
C.
Boundaries
indicated as approximately following a City boundary, or the Urban
Growth Boundary, shall be construed as following said boundary.
D.
Boundaries
indicated as approximately following the banks of rivers, streams,
or lakes shall be construed as following the top-of-bank, or bankfull
stage, of the river, stream, or lake.
E.
Whenever
any public right-of-way is lawfully vacated, the lands formerly within
the vacated right-of-way shall automatically be subject to the same
land use district designation that is applicable to the abutting vacated
area. In cases where the right-of-way formerly served as a land use
district boundary, the lands formerly within the vacated right-of-way
shall be allocated proportionately between the subject land use districts.
A.
Except as otherwise specifically regulated by this Code, transportation facilities and improvements meeting one or more of the definitions for transportation facilities and improvements (see Chapter 16.12) are permitted outright in the following land use districts (zones): R-40, R-10, GM, RM, RH, C-1, C-MU, OSI, R-C, and I-1.
B.
Except as otherwise specifically regulated by this Code, land transportation facilities and improvements meeting one or more of the definitions for transportation facilities and improvements (see Chapter 16.12) are permitted outright in the following land use districts (zones): C-2 and I-2.
C.
In the Beach Dune Overlay (BDO) Zone (see Chapter 16.100), vehicular transportation facilities and improvements (not multi-use paths or trails) that have been identified in the Warrenton TSP are permitted, conditionally subject to the provisions of Chapter 16.220 of this Code. Goal findings or a goal exception that determines the proposed project to be consistent with the adopted goal finding or exception are required.
E.
In
all land use districts and overlay zones of the City, transportation
facilities and improvements are subject to the development standards
of the pertinent land use district (and overlay zone, if applicable).
