18.12.020 Zoning District Map.
A. Adopted. The zoning districts referred to in this title are shown upon the map sometimes referred to in this title as the “Zoning District Map.” Said map 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 map were fully described in this title.
B. Boundaries.
1. At all points in this title where a district is defined as being bounded by or running to a public street or highway, it shall be construed as being bounded by and running to the center of such street or highway. In like manner, the Zoning District Map referred to in this title shall in all cases be construed as bounding each district by the centerline of each street or highway upon and which it shall abut; notwithstanding the fact that the demarcation of such district or zone shall be shown on the map as the sideline of such street, it is hereby declared to be the intent and purpose of this City Council to bound all zones and districts by the centerline of the streets and highways upon which they abut, whether or not conveyances of abutting lands shall have gone to the centerlines of such streets or highways as provided in Civil Code Section 1112.2.
2. If uncertainty exists in any boundary indicated on the Zoning District Map, the Planning Commission upon either written application or its own motion shall determine the location of such boundary in accordance with established zoning procedures.
