(a)

Buildings, structures and land shall be used, designed, erected, structurally altered or enlarged only for the purposes permitted in the zone in which such building or land is located, and then only after applying for and securing all permits and licenses required by law and ordinance.

(b)

Uses not specifically listed as permitted or prohibited shall be deemed to be prohibited unless determined to be a use similar in development characteristics and land use impact to a permitted use as determined by the community development director.

(Ord. No. 24-03, § 2, 9-17-24)

The original of the official zoning map shall be kept on file with the city clerk and shall constitute the original record. A copy of said map shall also be filed with the public works department. All amendments and changes shall be published by the city clerk within fifteen (15) days after passage of such amendments. This data shall at that time be filed with the public works director.

(Ord. No. 24-03, § 2, 9-17-24)

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zone, the following rules of construction shall apply:

(1)

Along line. Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following street and alley lines or lot lines, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

(2)

Unsubdivided property. Where a zone boundary divides a lot, or parcel, the location of such boundaries, unless the same is indicated by dimension, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on said zoning map.

(3)

Vacated or abandoned street or alley. Where a public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the area comprising such vacated street or alley shall acquire the classification of the property to which it reverts.

(4)

Realigned rights-of-way in certain subdivisions. Where a proposed public street or alley shown on a tentative map forms a zone boundary, and such street or alley is realigned on the final map for the subdivision, the zone boundary shall be deemed to be the centerline of the street or alley as shown on the approved final map.

(5)

Interpretation by commission. If after application of the above rules, uncertainty exists as to any zone boundary, the commission shall, upon letter of request submitted by the property owner/agent, interpret the map and determine said boundary, and said determination shall be final and made a permanent public record.

(Ord. No. 24-03, § 2, 9-17-24)

Where a lot is divided by sale or contract without first having been approved by the planning commission and city council in conformity with city subdivision regulations, said property shall continue to be considered as one (1) lot or parcel for purposes of applying the provisions of the zone in which said lot is located.

(Ord. No. 24-03, § 2, 9-17-24)

Territory hereafter annexed to the city shall, upon the date that said annexation becomes effective, be classified in the R1, single-family residential zone; except where the planning commission has recommended, and the city council has adopted, zoning other than R-1 that is consistent with the general plan for the annexed territory.
