Eagle Lake City Zoning Code

§ 14.01.006

Interpretation of district boundaries.

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
District boundaries approximately following the centerlines of streets or highways, street lines or highway right-of-way lines, shall be construed to be such boundaries.
District boundaries approximately following lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
District boundaries approximately parallel to the centerlines or street lines of streets, or the centerlines or right-of-way lines of highways shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance as indicated on the zoning map. If no specific distance is given, the dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale on the zoning map.
For unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines on the zoning map shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map.
In the case of a district boundary line dividing a property into two parts, the district boundary line shall be construed to be the property line nearest the district line as shown.
Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of the city council, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation; and all areas included in the vacation shall then be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
Where the streets or alleys on the ground differ from the streets or alleys as shown on the zoning map, the streets or alleys on the ground shall control.
The zoning official shall make interpretations as necessary under this section, subject to appeal to the board of adjustment.
