§ 17.05.500. Interpretation of boundaries.

A.

When a lot or parcel is divided by a district boundary, the regulations applicable to each zoning district shall apply separately to each affected portion of the site.

B.

The following rules shall apply to the determination of district boundaries shown on the zoning map.

1.

Where boundaries are indicated as approximately following street lines or other identifiable property or boundary lines, such lines shall be construed to be the district boundary. Where the boundaries are indicated as within street lines, right-of-way, creeks or drainways, or similar features, the centerline thereof shall be construed to be the district boundary.

2.

Where a boundary divides a parcel, the location of the boundary shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the zoning map, unless indicated by dimensions.

3.

Map codes or symbols indicating the zoning classification of property shall apply to the whole of the area within the district boundaries.

4.

Where a public street, alley, easement, or right-of-way is vacated or abandoned, the zoning regulations applicable to abutting property shall apply equally to each half of the vacated area.

5.

When there is uncertainty as to the location or meaning of a zoning district boundary or other feature indicated on the zoning map, the planning director or if deemed necessary, the planning commission shall determine the location or meaning.
