Double Oak City Zoning Code

§ 5

ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.

5-1 
The district boundary lines shown on the zoning map are usually along streets, alleys, property lines or extensions thereof. Where, after review of the legal description in any original adoptive ordinance, uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
5-2 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow the center line of such street, highway or alley.
5-3 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lines.
5-4 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limits shall be construed as following city limits.
5-5 
Boundaries indicated as following railroad or utility lines shall be construed to be the center line of the right-of-way or if no center line is established, the boundary shall be interpreted to be midway between the right-of-way lines.
5-6 
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, drainage-ways or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines.
5-7 
Boundaries indicated as paralleled to or extensions of features indicated in 5-1 through 5-6 above shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the original Zoning Map shall be determined from the graphic scale on the Map.
5-8 
Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of the Town Council, or whenever street or alley area is franchised for building purposes, the zoning district line adjoining each side of such street, alley or other public way shall be automatically extended to the center line of such vacated street, alley or way, and all area so involved shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
5-9 
Where physical features of the ground are at variance with information shown on the official Zoning District Map, or if there arises a question as to how or whether a parcel of property is zoned and such question cannot be resolved by the application of Subsections 5-1 through 5-8 or the zoning of property is invalidated by a final judgment of a Court of competent jurisdiction, the property shall be considered as classified temporary "AG-l," Agricultural District if the tract is less than three acre and "AG-2" if the tract is three acres or over.
(Ordinance 37 adopted 2/27/88)
