18.08.020 - Interpretation of zoning district boundaries.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any district as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

A.

Where a boundary line is indicated as following a street, road or other right-of-way or a water course, the boundary shall be construed as following the center line thereof.

B.

Where a boundary line follows or coincides approximately with a parcel line it shall be construed as following the parcel line.

C.

In unsubdivided property or where a district boundary divides a parcel, the location of the boundary, unless indicated by dimensions on the zoning map, shall be determined by measurement at the scale appearing on the map.

D.

In case further uncertainty exists, the planning commission, upon written application, or upon its own motion, shall determine the exact location of the boundary in question.

(Ord. 1967-80 § 1 (6105.2), 1967)
