Digital map. The above zones or area classifications and the boundaries of such are established as shown on the Kittitas County Geographic Information System (GIS) Spatial Data Base Engine (SDE) as a dataset designated as "Zoning". The GIS zoning dataset shall be the County's "Official Zoning Map;" it shall be maintained and edited under the conditions set forth in KCC Title 15B, KCC Chapter 17.36 and KCC Chapter 17.98 as necessary by qualified personnel within the Community Development Services Department. Delineations and alterations shall be recorded in a manner as to preserve the details of their size, configuration, adoption ordinance, adoption date, and any other information deemed necessary by the Director within the dataset's attribute data for the purpose of maintaining the public record. Standard operating procedures shall be developed and monitored to assure that delineations and alterations are recorded properly, and that all appropriate county agencies and departments are notified, and given appropriate supplemental details and information. The zoning dataset shall be integrated into Kittitas County's web based mapping system for viewing by the general public and be made available either digitally or physically by staff at the Community Development Services Department for those without computer/internet access.

Physical map. As part of the annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, or at any time deemed desirable or beneficial by the Board, a physical map or set of maps, shall be produced by Community Development Services reflecting the information contained within the zoning dataset, as well as notations, references, and detailed information regarding changes since the previous map(s); a signature block shall be provided for verification and approval by the Board.

Map designations. The zones or areas hereby established and shown on said dataset and maps, and boundaries thereof, are hereby designated. Said dataset and maps and all notations, references and other information shown thereon shall be as much a part of this title as if the matters and information set forth by said maps were all fully described herein.

Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline of roads, highways, power lines, railroads, rivers or canals, the centerline shall be construed to be such boundaries.

Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, the lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

In un-subdivided land and where a zone boundary divides an ownership, the location of the boundary, unless it is indicated by dimensions shown on the map, shall be determined by scale measurement.

Boundary lines along navigable rivers shall be pierhead or outer harbor lines. Where such pierhead or outer harbor lines are not established, then the zone boundary lines shall extend five hundred (500) feet from the natural shoreline.
