The city is arranged in zoning districts, as shown on the current zoning map posted in department of planning and community development and filed with the city clerk. The map, and all explanatory material thereon, is hereby made a part of this title.

The zoning districts, the descriptions of which are set forth in sections 11-6-1, 11-7-1, 11-8-1, 11-9-1 and 11-10-1 of this title, shall be designated as follows, and may be referred to by full name or by symbol only:

 

(Ord. 5916, 8-9-1999)

   A.   The following areas are established as special "overlay" districts pursuant to the regulations set forth in chapter 11, "Special Districts", and chapter 16, "Airport Hazard Regulations" of this title:

 

 

   B.   Said regulations shall supersede any controlling provisions of this title where applicable. (Ord. 6103, 7-27-2009)

In the event that uncertainties exist with respect to the intended boundaries of the various districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

   A.   Where the designation of a boundary line on the zoning map coincides with the location of a street or alley, the centerline of such street or alley shall be construed to be the boundary of such district;

   B.   Where the district boundaries do not coincide with the location of streets or alleys, but do coincide with lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary of such district; and

   C.   Where the boundary line of a zoning district does not coincide with the location of streets, alleys, or lot lines, the district boundaries shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the zoning map except as may otherwise be determined, as a special exception, by the board of adjustment that a zoning district delineated by such boundary line dividing a single lot, tract, or parcel of land under one ownership may be extended to the nearest property line. (Ord. 5916, 8-9-1999)

The identification and classification of all principal uses of land or buildings permitted in the various zoning districts are grouped into use categories, which are described in chapter 4 of this title and listed for each zoning district in sections 11-6-2, 11-7-2, 11-8-2, and 11-9-2 of this title. The specific uses included in each use category are listed in tables entitled "Uses Permitted" according to the corresponding standard industrial classification (SIC) numbers from the "Standard Industrial Classification Manual (1972)", prepared by the statistical policy division of the office of management and budget, executive office of the president, and available from the superintendent of documents, U.S. government printing office. An SIC number listed and followed by an asterisk is not contained in the SIC manual but is established only for this title. Some SIC numbers have been divided for the purpose of establishing special uses for certain categories and shall be interpreted as such. A use specifically listed in a use category shall not by interpretation be included as a principal use within any other category. It shall be the duty of the building official to classify any use not specifically listed for the purpose of designating the zoning districts in which such use may be located. (Ord. 5916, 8-9-1999)
