Â
The Legislative Body, with recommendations by Land Use Authority, shall determine at the time of annexation the most appropriate zoning of all property hereafter annexed into Coalville City.
The Legislative Body establishes the uses and regulations which apply to each zoning district in accordance with a General Plan designed for the same purposes for which the Legislative Body enacted this Code and declares the requirements set forth herein to be the minimums necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Code.
The Coalville City Zoning Map is the official zoning map for Coalville. Upon amendment to the zoning map, the Mayor shall execute a new map, or re-execute the existing map with the amendments noted in a timely manner.
In order to carry out the purposes of this Code, land use districts have been established as set forth in Section 08-010, and a Zoning Map has been established. The Zoning Map is adopted as a part of this Code and this Code is intended to be consistent with the Zoning Map. In interpreting the Zoning Map, the following standards shall apply:
A.
The zoning boundary lines are intended to conform to existing property boundary lines when not in a public right-of-way, or to follow the center line of public rights-of-way (including prescriptive rights-of-way), unless the lines are located by specific dimensions, in which case the dimensions shall control. Where the zoning district lines approximately follow the lot lines as they exist at the date of adoption of this Code, the district lines shall be conformed to the lot lines.
B.
Where the zoning district lines appear to have intentionally divided a lot or parcel between two (2) or more districts, the applicable zoning for each portion of the lot or parcel shall be determined by using the scale shown on the map. If the placement of the district line cannot be determined, the standards of the zone allowing the less intensive land use shall be applied to the entire parcel.
C.
Where the district lines are intended to follow natural land contours, such as the ridge tops, hillsides or waterways, the line shall be determined at the point at which the general slope of the land changes fifteen percent (15%) in grade or in the case of waterways, the average centerline of the waterway. In the event of a dispute as to the location of the change in grade, the point shall be fixed with reference to topographic data submitted to the City. Where land of less than fifteen percent (15%) slope is surrounded by land of fifteen percent (15%) or greater slope, the Land Use Authority shall entertain an application to rezone the land of less than fifteen percent (15%) slope to a suitable residential use if the City Staff determines that the land is adequately accessible and not within sensitive lands.
D.
If the Land Use Authority, Legislative Body, or member of the public requests an interpretation of a zoning district the matter shall be forwarded to the Appeal Authority for an interpretation.
A.
Ambiguous Zone Classification. Any property which, for any reason, is not clearly zoned on the City's official zone maps or is determined not to be subject to the requirements of a zone classification as provided by this Code is hereby declared to be in the Agricultural Zone and shall be subject to the requirements of the Agricultural Zone.
B.
Ambiguous Use Classification. If ambiguity arises concerning the appropriate classification of a particular use within the meaning and intent of this Code, or with respect to matters of height, yard requirements, area requirements, or other property development standards, the Land Use Administrator shall determine the proper use or classification.
The minimum area of any single lot or parcel and the density of dwellings per acre in all residential zones is indicated in the table below. The 'Zone' column in the table represents the particular residential zone. The 'Density' column in the table represents the number of dwellings per acre allowed in each zone. The 'Minimum Lot Size' column in the table represents the minimum size lot allowed in the zone. The 'Frontages' column represents the minimum Frontages required for lots in the specific zones.
Table 8-2 - Density, Lot Size and Frontage
| Zone | Density (dwellings per acre) | Minimum Lot Size | Frontages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agricultural, AG-20 | 1 Dwelling Per Twenty Acres | 1 Acre (43,560 sq ft) | 150' |
|
Residential
Agricultural, RA-5 | 1 Dwellings Per Five Acre | 3/4 Acre (32,670 sq ft) | 100' |
|
Low-Density
Residential, R-1 | 1 Dwelling Per Acre | 1/2 Acre (21,780 sq ft) | 100' |
|
Medium Density
Residential, R-2 | 2 Dwellings Per Acre | 1/3 Acre (14,520 sq ft) | 100' |
|
High Density
Residential, R-4 | 4 Dwellings Per Acre | 1/4 Acre (10,890 sq ft) | 85' |
|
Very High Density
Residential, R-8 | 8 Dwellings Per Acre | 1/8 Acre (5,445 sq ft) | 65' |
Â
Density of Residential Housing Developments. To encourage the preservation of agricultural and natural open space, enhance its profitability, minimize the cost of public services, reduce yard sizes to conserve water and improve landscaping quality, as well as encourage assorted lot sizes and varying housing types along city streets, clustered residential housing may be approved as a Master Planned Development in accordance with Chapter 33 herein.
See complete descriptions and requirements of zone district setbacks, minimum lot size and building height and exceptions regarding special situations in the respective Chapters for each Zone.
A.
Lot Coverage. To minimize the effects of storm water runoff, and consequently save the City money, the maximum percent of the lot area allowed to be developed and/or built upon by impervious surfaces is sixty percent (60%).

In order to carry out the purposes of this Code, land use districts have been established as set forth in Section 08-010, and a Zoning Map has been established. The Zoning Map is adopted as a part of this Code and this Code is intended to be consistent with the Zoning Map. In interpreting the Zoning Map, the following standards shall apply:
