§ 260-11

Districts and boundaries.

A. 
For the purpose of this chapter, the City of Fairfax is hereby divided into four categories of zoning districts. The four designated districts are as follows:
(1) 
A Zones.
(2) 
R Zones.
(3) 
C Zones.
(4) 
M Zones.
B. 
District Map. Said districts are shown upon the District Map accompanying this chapter. Said map and all notations, references, and other information thereon shall be as much a part of this chapter as if the matters and information set forth by said map were all fully described herein.[1]

Editor's Note: The District Map is located at the end of this chapter.
C. 
District boundaries. For determining the boundaries of the districts shown on the District Map, the following rules shall apply.
(1) 
Where boundary lines are obviously following a road, street, lot or property lines or section lines such lines shall be boundaries.
(2) 
In subdivided property, or otherwise, a district boundary divides a lot of parcel of property, the location of any such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the District Map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on such map.
(3) 
The City Council hereby shall upon application or upon its own motion determine the location of boundaries in the case where uncertainties exist after the application of the rules.
(4) 
Divided lot. Where a district boundary established in this section divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of enactment of this chapter, the use authorized thereon and the other district requirements applying to the least restricted portion of such lot under this chapter shall be construed as extending to the entire lot, provided such lot does not extend more than 50 feet beyond said boundary line. The use so extended shall be deemed to be a conforming use.
