(Code 1963, Ch. 9, art. 2, § 17)

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the zoning districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets or highways, street lines or highway right-of-way lines, such centerlines, street lines, or highway right-of-way lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

(2)

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

(3)

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerlines or street lines of streets, or the centerlines of right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale on the zoning map.

(4)

In 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 (2) parts, the district boundary line shall be construed to be the property line nearest the district boundary line as shown.

(6)

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 area included in the vacation shall then and henceforth 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.

(Code 1963, Ch. 9, art. 2, § 4)

(a)

Zoning annexed areas. All territory annexed to the city shall be initially classified as district "A" agricultural district. The planning and zoning commission shall within twelve (12) months after date of annexation recommend to the city council a plan for permanent zoning in the area. The procedure to be followed for adoption shall be the same as is provided by law for the adoption of original zoning regulations. If the planning and zoning commission fails to submit a zoning plan to the city council within twelve (12) months after the date of annexation, the planning and zoning commission recommendation shall be deemed to be a recommendation to change the initial annexation zoning to permanent zoning. If the city council fails to act on a plan for initial zoning of an annexed area within sixty (60) days following the date twelve (12) months after the date of annexation, the zoning map for the City of Killeen shall be changed to reflect the permanency of the initial zoning assigned on annexation. Any area annexed during the time period of January 1, 1963, to effective date of this ordinance which continues to bear a "temporary" zoning, the same is hereby designated as the permanent zoning, and all existing "temporary" prefixes are eliminated.

(b)

Permits in initially zoned areas. In an area initially classified as district "A" agricultural district, no permit for the construction of a building or use of land other than types of buildings or land use allowed in such district under this chapter shall be issued by the building official until such permit has been specifically authorized by the city council after receipt of recommendation from the planning and zoning commission. Permits for the construction of buildings in a newly annexed territory prior to permanent zoning may be authorized under the following conditions: An application for any use shall be made to the building official, such application shall show the use contemplated, and a plot plan showing the size and type of building to be constructed; and if such application is for other than a building allowed in district "A" agricultural district, it shall be referred to the planning and zoning commission for recommendation to the city council, which shall grant or deny the permit; provided that a favorable vote of a three-fourths majority of all members of the city council shall be required if the recommendation of the planning and zoning commission is not followed.

(c)

Unplatted property. The planning and zoning commission shall not approve any minor plat within the city limits until the area covered by the proposed plat shall have been properly and permanently zoned by the city council. The planning and zoning commission may act on a final plat of a parcel and the zoning request on the same parcel concurrently, only when the plat requires city council approval.
