In each zoning district, any use not expressly permitted shall be deemed excluded unless said use can be shown to the satisfaction of the commission to be consistent with the intent of the district, in which case it shall grant an exemption pursuant to this title.

17.16.020 - Interpretation of zoning district map.

The planning director shall interpret in writing the zoning district map, or any part thereof, upon request of any person if that person certifies that because of the scale, lack of detail or legibility, there is uncertainty, contradiction, or conflict as to the intended location of any zoning district boundary shown thereon. Any person aggrieved by the interpretation may appeal to the commission. The planning director and/or commission, in interpreting the zoning district map or deciding any appeal, shall apply the following standards:

A.

District boundary lines are intended to follow lot lines, or be parallel or perpendicular thereto, or follow along the centerlines of alleys, streets, rights-of-way, or watercourses, unless such boundary lines are otherwise shown on the map;

B.

Where district boundary lines are indicated as following approximate lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be boundary lines.
