Title. The provisions of this article shall be known as the "zoning map(s)" of this title.
(Ord. 408, 1987)
§ 17.060.002 Applicability of provisions.
The provisions of the zoning map(s) shall apply to all property within the city of Brentwood, dedicated freeways, streets, alleys, paths and to such unincorporated territory adjoining the city of Brentwood as shall be necessary in order to ensure continuity of regulation in the vent of subsequent annexation.

In order to accomplish the purposes herein set forth, the city of Brentwood is divided into the zones set out in the following table, within each of which certain uses of land and buildings are restricted or prohibited, and within which certain combinations of regulations are applied with reference to building site dimensions, yard dimensions and other matters, all as set forth in this title:
(Ord. 408, 1987)
§ 17.060.004 Zoning map(s).
The zoning map(s) shall consist of the zoning map or maps of the city of Brentwood which show the zones being parts of this title under the provisions of this title. Such map(s) and all data shown thereon are adopted and made a part of this title as subsections A through M of this section.

(Ord. 408, 1987)
§ 17.060.005 Zoning boundaries.

(Ord. 408, 1987)
§ 17.060.006 Interpretation of zoning map(s) boundaries.
Generally the maps shall govern the location of zoning boundaries; however, if uncertainty exists the following rules shall govern the city's interpretation.
A.
When Written Description Exists. Whenever the location of the boundary or other feature appearing on a map included in the zoning maps is indicated in a legal description or other written statement on file with the city, the location shall be interpreted precisely as described in such statement.
B.
When Location Approximates Lot Line or Other Line. Whenever no applicable legal description or other written statement exists, and the location of the boundary or other feature included in the zoning maps approximates an edge or centerline, as the case may be, of a street, alley, path, right-of-way or city boundary which was in existence when the boundary or other feature was established, the location of the boundary or other feature shall be interpreted to follow such edge or centerline. Whenever the location of such boundary or other feature approximates a predominant alignment within the block of lot lines or lines bounding parcels shown on a recorded subdivision plat or record of survey, which lot lines or parcel lines were in existence when such boundary or other feature was established, it shall be interpreted to follow such predominant alignment; provided, that such alignment is not more than thirty feet as measured perpendicularly at any point, from the apparent location which may be determined by using the scale on the map.
C.
When Subsections A and B are Inoperative. Whenever the situations described in subsections A and B of this section are not applicable, the location of the boundary or other feature included in the zoning map shall be determined through use of the scale on the map. Should any further uncertainty exist, the location shall be interpreted by the planning officer. Such interpretation shall be subject to appeal pursuant to the administrative appeal procedure of Chapter 17.880.
D.
Lots Divided by Zone Boundaries. Whenever it is found, after applying the rules set forth in this section, that a lot is divided by a boundary between zones, the planning commission shall determine which regulations shall apply to such lots. The actual location of the zone boundary itself shall not be deemed to be changed by the commission's determination.
(Ord. 408, 1987)
§ 17.060.007 Zoning-Vacated or unzoned property.
Land which has been or is hereafter included in the vacation or disposal of any street, alley, path or any unzoned public property which has been or is hereafter annexed to the city of Brentwood, shall in the absence of rezoning action to the contrary, be deemed to be included in the same zone as the lots which it abuts. In case opposite sides of such lands are in different zones, the boundary between such zones shall be deemed to be the center of the land.
(Ord. 408, 1987)
§ 17.060.008 Zoning-Annexations.
Prior to the annexation to the city of any property and pursuant to Chapter 17.870, the sponsor of any annexations shall file an application for prezoning of the property to be annexed and the city shall establish the zoning which will be in effect on the effective date of the annexation. Such zoning shall be in conformance with the city's general plan.
