Palouse City Zoning Code

Official Zoning Map – Location. The city is divided into several zones or use districts as shown on the official zoning map which, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is adopted by reference and declared a part of this title. It shall bear the signature of the mayor and the date of the most recent ordinance adopting or amending the map.

The official zoning map shall be located in the City Hall and shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of the town. Any amendments passed by the city council shall be duly recorded on the official map by the city clerk as expeditiously as possible after the action of the city council.

Critical Areas Map – Location. This map shows prime farmland, erosion-prone areas, wetlands, and fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas within the city of Palouse. It is adopted to be used in the implementation and interpretation of Chapter 17.24 PMC, Critical Areas Protection. The map shall be located in the City Hall.

Replacement of Map. In the event either map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret because of the nature of the changes or additions thereto, the city council may, by resolution, adopt a new map, in whole or in part, which shall supersede the prior map. The new map may correct errors or omissions in the prior map, but no such corrections shall have the effect of amending the original ordinance or any subsequent amendment thereof.
