All territory hereafter annexed to the City shall be interimly
zoned and classified as part of that zoning district of the City specified
by the City Council by ordinance at the time of the annexation. The
annexed territory shall retain such zoning classification until such
time as the zoning district map is amended in the manner hereinafter
provided, to include such annexed territory.
The designation, location and boundaries of the aforesaid zones
shall be delineated on the Zoning Map of the City of Blue Lake.
This section consists of the Zoning Map of the City of Blue Lake, which map may be amended in whole or in part in accordance with the amendment procedure set forth in Chapter
17.28. The map may consist of more than one individual sheet, adopted pursuant to this section.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the
various zones, the following rules shall apply:
A. Streets
or Alleys. Where the indicated zoning boundaries are approximately
street or alley lines, the center lines of the street or alley shall
be construed to be the boundaries of the zone.
B. Lot
Lines. Where the zoning boundaries are not shown to be streets or
alleys, and where property has been or may hereafter be divided into
blocks and lots, the zoning boundaries shall be construed to be lot
lines; and where the indicated boundaries are approximately lot lines,
the lot lines shall be construed to be the boundaries of the zone,
unless the boundaries are otherwise determined.
C. Scale
on Map—Determination by Commission. Where the property is indicated
on a zoning map or maps as acreage and not subdivided into lots and
blocks, or where the zone boundary lines are not approximately street,
alley or lot lines, the zone boundary lines on the zoning map or maps
shall be determined by scaled contained on the map or maps, and where
uncertainty exists, the zone boundary line shall be determined by
the Planning Commission. In the event property shown as acreage on
the zoning map or maps has been or is subsequently subdivided into
lots or blocks by a duly recorded subdivision map or record of survey
and the lot and block arrangement does not conform to that anticipated
when the zone boundaries were established or property is resubdivided
by a duly recorded subdivision map or record of survey into a different
arrangement of lots and blocks than shown on the zone map, the Planning
Commission, after notice to the owners of the property affected thereby,
may interpret the zone maps and make minor readjustments in the zone
boundaries in such a way as to carry out the intent and purpose of
these regulations and conform to the street, block and lot layout
on the ground. The interpretations shall be by written decision, and
thereafter the copies of the zoning maps in the Planning Commission
Office shall be changed to conform thereto.
D. Vacated
Street or Alley. In the event a dedicated street or alley shown on
the zoning map or maps is vacated by resolution or ordinance, the
property formerly in the street or alley shall be included within
the zone of the adjoining property on either side of the vacated street
or alley. In the event the street or alley was a zone boundary between
two or more different zones, the new zone boundary shall be the former
center line of the vacated street or alley.
Except as otherwise provided herein:
A. Use
Requirements. No building or part thereof or other structure shall
be erected, altered, added to or enlarged, nor shall any land, building,
structure or premises be used, designated or intended to be used for
any purpose or in any manner other than is included among the uses
hereinafter listed as permitted in the zone in which such buildings,
land, or premises are located.
B. Height Requirements. No building or part thereof or structure shall be erected, reconstructed or structurally altered to exceed in height the limit hereinafter designated for the zone in which the building is located except as provided in Chapter
17.24.
C. Area
Requirements. No building or part thereof or structure shall be erected
nor shall any existing building be altered, enlarged or rebuilt or
