* See Article 5.10.D.9 for listing of HPOD's and HPO's. Designation on the Official Zoning Map shall include the zoning district and the HPOD or HPOS with a corresponding numerical reference.

Uses permitted as a Special Exception shall follow the procedures set forth in § 5.3.

1. All governmental owned or leased properties are zoned GU Governmental Use although they may not be so designated on the Official Zoning Map. Except for properties owned by the Community Redevelopment Agency which may be within a GU Government Use District or with another district as identified on the Official Zoning Map.

2. If because of error or omission in the Official Zoning Map any property that is not shown as being in a zoning district, the classification of such property shall be RS-1 Single Family Residential district. For purposes of this section, the minimum standards for a change of zoning do not apply for such properties. The Office of Planning Director is authorized to change the Official Zoning Map accordingly.

3. The Official Zoning Map shall be on file and available to the public in the Department of Planning and Development Services.

1. A district name or symbol shown on the Official Zoning Map indicates that the regulations pertaining to the district designated by that name or letter-number combination extend throughout the whole area in the municipality bounded by the district boundary lines within which such name or symbol is shown or indicated, except as otherwise provided by this section.

2. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map the following rules apply:

a. In cases where a boundary line is given a position within a street or alley, easement, canal, navigable or non-navigable stream, it will be deemed to be in the center of the right-of-way of the street, alley, easement, canal, or stream, and if the actual location of such street, alley, easement, canal, or stream varies slightly from the location as shown on the district map, then the actual location controls.

b. If a site is crossed by a zoning district boundary and thus lies in more than one district, the district boundary shall be treated as if it were a Lot Line separating the two separately zoned parcels.

3. The boundary line for properties having a lot line adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway is the bulkhead line.

4. The boundary line adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean is the Erosion Control Line as determined in accordance with Florida Statutes; except, for properties which are adjacent to the Broadwalk right of way. In this instance, the boundary line is the west right of way line of the Broadwalk.

1. The goals and objectives of the city shall be verbally and graphically expressed within the elements of the Comprehensive Plan as adopted and amended by the City Commission.

2. The prime objective of the use of zoning districts is to control the location of uses of land and buildings in a compatible pattern. The substantive guide for this pattern shall be the Hollywood Comprehensive Plan.
