The classes of districts and certain combinations thereof designated in Chapter 18.08 may be established by ordinance insofar as the designations, locations, and boundaries thereof are set forth and indicated by written description, or in various sectional district maps which may hereafter be filed and adopted and which show such designations, locations and boundaries of certain said districts. Said maps and all notations, references, data, and other information shown thereon shall become a part of this title and subject thereto, and all such written descriptions and maps shall be designated as subsections of this section.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any of the districts designated in Chapter 18.08 as described or as shown on said sectional district maps, the following shall apply:

Map System Adopted—GIS Zoning Dataset. There is hereby adopted a Geographical Information System (GIS) dataset; the dataset is stored in Lassen’s spatial database and comprises polygonal features that serve as a digital representation of the zoning districts within the jurisdiction of Lassen County.

Contents of GIS Zoning Dataset. These polygonal features contain attribute information delineating zoning districts and referencing the ordinance(s) which created them.

The zoning shown or described in the applicable zoning ordinance supersedes the zoning shown on the GIS zoning dataset. Any errors or zoning changes confirmed by the planning and building services department and/or the planning commission shall result in said GIS zoning dataset being appropriately updated as soon as possible. The process governing uncertainty described in Section 18.10.010 shall be followed.

The Lassen County planning and building services department is responsible for maintaining and updating the GIS zoning dataset, as needed.
