The boundaries of zoning districts shall be as shown on a geographic coverage layer entitled "zoning" that is maintained as part of the county's geographic information system (GIS) under the certification of the planning director. This "zoning" geographic coverage layer, as amended in accordance with the provisions of A.R.S. title 11, ch. 6 (A.R.S. § 11-801 et seq.) and chapter 2.166 PCDSC, shall constitute the official zoning map (zoning map) for the unincorporated area of the county under the county's jurisdiction, and shall be part of this title, as fully as if they were set out or copied at length herein. The planning director shall revise the zoning map to reflect any changes to the zoning district boundaries. The planning director may authorize printed copies of the zoning map to be produced, and shall maintain digital or printed copies of superseded versions of the official zoning map for historical reference.

Where uncertainty exists, the boundary of any zoning district shall be determined as follows:

If the boundary is not determined by an approved zoning case, the boundary will be determined by the zoning map subject to the following:

1.

Where a boundary is indicated as approximately following a street or alley line or the center line thereof, or a lot line, such line shall be construed to be such boundary.

2.

Where a boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the zoning map.

3.

Where a public street, alley or railroad or other right-of-way is vacated or abandoned, the zone applied to abutting property shall be thereafter deemed to extend to the center line of such vacated or abandoned right-of-way.

4.

Questions concerning the exact location of boundaries not covered above shall be determined by the board of adjustment.
