The following rules shall apply to determine
the boundaries of the districts shown on the Zoning Maps:
A. Whenever district boundaries follow roadways, the
center lines of such roadways shall be considered the district boundaries.
Whenever district boundaries on the Zoning Maps follow natural features
such as streams or waterways, the center of such natural features
or the limits of the City's jurisdiction where they form a municipal
boundary, shall be considered the district boundary.
B. Whenever district boundaries are so indicated that
they apparently follow individual lot lines, such lot lines shall
be considered the district boundary.
C. Where a district boundary line does not follow such
a line, its position shall be shown on the Zoning Map by a dimension
expressing its distance in feet from a roadway center line or other
identifiable point as indicated; or where no such dimension appears,
its location shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on
the respective Zoning Map.
D. Where a district boundary line divides a single and
separate lot on the effective date of these regulations or their applicable
amendment, the standards for the less restricted portion of such lot
shall extend not more than 50 feet into the more restricted portion,
provided that the lot has frontage on a roadway or shoreline in the
less restricted district.
E. RM District.
(1) The delineation of the Resource Management RM District
on the Zoning Maps is intended to include the following specific features:
(c)
Steep slopes and adverse soil conditions.
(d)
Certified Agricultural Districts.
(2) The delineation of these features is not often readily
dimensioned from an identifiable point of reference on the map. Field
inspection and interpretation by the Building Inspector/Code Enforcement
Officer shall determine the actual location of these features with
reference to a particular site as may be required by the Joint Zoning
Board of Appeals/Planning Commission in its review of an application
or an appeal in such areas.
[Amended 11-8-2017 by L.L. No. 5-2017]
F. In the event that the Building Inspector/Code Enforcement
Officer is unable to determine the true location of a district boundary
line in a particular instance, or in the instance that the Building
Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer's determination is disputed, the
Joint Zoning Board of Appeals/Planning Commission, upon application,
shall render a determination.
[Amended 11-8-2017 by L.L. No. 5-2017]
