§ 153.033 ZONE BOUNDARIES.
Unless otherwise specified, zone boundaries are section lines, subdivision lines, lot lines, center lines of streets and other rights-of-way or utilities, water courses, ridges or rimrocks, contour lines, other readily recognizable or identifiable natural features or such lines extended. Whenever uncertainty exists as to the exact boundary of a zone as shown on the Zoning Map(s) or amendments thereto, the following provisions shall control:
(A)
Where a boundary line is indicated as following a street, alley, canal or railroad right-of-way, it shall be construed as following the centerline of the right-of-way.
(B)
Where a boundary line follows or approximately coincides with a section line or division thereof, lot or property ownership line, public utility easement, watercourse, ridge or rimrock or contour line, it shall be construed as following the line.
(C)
If a zone boundary, as shown on the Zoning Map, divides a lot or parcel between two zones, the entire lot or parcel may be determined to be in the zone in which the greater area of the lot or parcel lies unless there is a specific statement set forth by this chapter or on the applicable Zoning Map as to the exact location of the boundary line, and if the adjustment is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan use designated for the area. The property owner may also file for a declaratory ruling to determine the exact location of the zone boundary. The determination shall be made by the Planning Commission, subject to appeal by City Council.
(D)
Where a public street, alley, canal or railroad right-of-way is officially vacated, the zoning regulations applicable to the abutting property on each side of the centerline of the right-of-way shall apply up to the centerline of the right-of-way as such existed prior to vacation on each respective side hereof. If the right-of-way is vacated in total to one property owner, the zoning of that abutting property shall apply to the total vacated property.
(Ord. 1180, passed 6-14-2011; Am. Ord. 1253, passed 8-27-2019)

The determination shall be made by the City Council upon receipt of a recommendation relative thereto from the City Planning Commission.
