   Official Zoning Map.

1.   
   1. (1)
      Generally.  Zoning districts are shown on the map entitled "Official Zoning Map" of the City of Borger.  An official copy of the map is on file and available for inspection during regular business hours at the office of the City Secretary. 
   2. (2)
      Force and Effect.  The Official Zoning Map, together with all legends, references, symbols, boundaries, and other information, is part of and has the same force of law as the text of this ULDO.
   3. (3)
      Status of the Zoning Map.  The Official Zoning Map that is on file with the City Secretary shall control in the event of a conflict between the map that is on file and any other paper or digital reproduction of the map.
   4. (4)
      Interpreting the Zoning Map. 

      1. (A)
         Where the Map appears to be unclear regarding the location of district boundaries, the Director of Planning and Development (Director) shall make a determination using the following criteria:

         1. (i)
            Rights-of-Way or Easements.  Where boundary lines appear to follow existing streets, alleys, railroad tracks, utility lines, or similar features, the zoning boundary shall be construed to follow the centerline of the rights-of-way or easement. Where the location of these features on the ground differs from that shown on the Official Zoning Map, the features on the ground control.
         2. (ii)
            City Limits.  Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following City limits, such City limits shall be considered the district boundaries.
         3. (iii)
            Property Lines.  Where the boundaries are indicated as approximately following property lines, such lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
         4. (iv)
            Watercourses.  Boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, the centerline of drainage ways, streams, water bodies, or other watercourses shall be construed as following the centerline.  In the event of a natural change in the location of such streams or other watercourses, the zoning district boundary shall be construed as moving with the centerline.
         5. (v)
            Vacation or Abandonment.  Where a public right-of-way is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to the abutting property apply equally to the vacated or abandoned street or alley.
         6. (vi)
            Annexed and Undesignated Lands.  For the purposes of ensuring that all land has a zoning designation, any land that is annexed into the City shall be zoned in accordance with its associated future land use class(es) as set forth in the Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan and in Table 14.01.201-1, Zoning Districts.
      2. (B)
         If the boundary remains uncertain, the Board of Adjustment shall interpret the Official Zoning Map to determine the location of the boundary in question.

   Development Types.

   1. (1)

      Conventional.  The conventional development type is the default pattern of development that allows residential uses development in accordance with the development standards listed in Subsection 14.01.202, RE, Rural and Estate; Subsection 14.01.203, GR, General Residential; Subsection 14.01.204, SU, Semi-Urban; and, Subsection 14.01.204, MR, Multi-Family Residential. Figure 14.01.213-1, Illustrative Conventional Development, depicts an example of the convention development type with the minimum lot size being a primary factor in the character.

   2. (2)
      Rural.  The rural development type, as depicted in Figure 14.01.213-2, Illustrative Rural Neighborhood, is a pattern of development that allows very low-density residential uses and that provides the majority of property owners with open space on their own property.  A rural development type consists of single-family detached dwelling units developed in accordance with the rural development standards of Table 14.01.213-2, Rural, ParkProximity, and Alley Loaded Development Standards.  
   3. (3)

      Park-Proximity.  The park-proximity development type, as depicted in Figure 14.01.213-3, Illustrative Park Proximity Development, consists of smaller lots that are permitted to develop at higher densities when all or a portion of the development site is located within an existing City of Borger park service area and developments in accordance with Table 14.01.213-2, Rural, Park-Proximity, and Alley Loaded Development Standards (see Park Services Area Map in the Borger Parks, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan to determine if a development site meets this park service area criteria).  The park proximity development type may be used in existing neighborhoods or greenfield development sites to increase the permitted density of a new or re-platted subdivision development by reducing the amount of open space required on the development site. 

   4. (4)

      Alley Loaded.   The alley loaded development type is depicted in Figure 14.01.213-3, Illustrative Alley Loaded Development, and is developed in accordance with the alley loaded development standards in Table 14.01.213-2, Rural, Park Proximity, and Alley Loaded Development Standard.  All residential lots in an alley loaded neighborhoods shall:

      1. (A)

         Not provide vehicular access from any lot line except the rear lot line of the parcel;

      2. (B)

         Locate garages and carports in the rear yard; and,

      3. (C)

         Garage doors or vehicle parking spaces shall face the rear lot line.

   Development Standards.  Table 14.01.213-2, Rural, Park Proximity, and Alley Loaded Development Standards, below, establishes the standards for developing new non-conventional neighborhoods in the permitted zoning districts as shown in Table 14.01.213-1, Permitted Residential Development Types.  See Section 14.01.400, Measurements and Allowances, for the methodology of measuring the standards in each column heading under Development Standards and Lot and Building Standards in the Table.

   1. (1)

      Rural.  In the RE Zoning District, rural development type:

      1. (A)

         40-acre parcel proposed for development

      2. (B)

         Multiply 40 acres by 1.9 units per acre = 76 units

   2. (2)

      Park Proximity.  In the GR and SU zoning districts, park proximity development type:

      1. (A)

         40-acre parcel proposed for development

      2. (B)

         In the GR District, multiply 40 acres by 6.8 units per acre = 272 units, compared to 240 units for the same property under the conventional development type 

      3. (C)
         In the SU District, multiply 40 acres by 7.9 units per acre = 316 units, compared to 280 units for the same property under the  conventional development type  
   3. (3)

      Alley Loaded.  In the GR and SU zoning districts, alley loaded development type:

      1. (A)
         40-acre parcel proposed for development
      2. (B)
         In the GR District, multiply 40 acres by 7.2 units per acre = 288 units, compared to 240 units for the same property under the conventional development type
      3. (C)
         In the SU District, multiply 40 acres by 8.3 units per acre = 332 units, compared to 280 units for the same property under the conventional development type
