In order to classify, regulate and segregate the uses of land and building, to regulate the heights and bulk of buildings, and to regulate the area of yards and other open spaces about buildings and to regulate the density of population, 11 classes of districts are by this chapter established to be known as follows:

R-1   Single-Family Residential District

R-2   Duplex Residential District

R-3   Multiple Family Residential District

CX-1   Mixed Use District

C-1   Neighborhood Commercial District

C-2   General Commercial District

C-M   Commercial Industrial District

M-1   Light Industrial District

M-2   Heavy Industrial District

F   Flood Plain District

P-D   Planned Development District

(`67 Code, § 10-2-1) (Am. Ord. 2014-006, passed 7-8-14)

   (A)   Those uses first permitted in the R-1 district are the most restrictive.

   (B)   All other uses are less restrictive districts in the sequence shown P-D, R-2, R-3, CX-1, C-1, C-2, C-M, M-1 and M-2.

(`67 Code, § 10-2-2) (Am. Ord. 2014-006, passed 7-8-14)

   The location and boundaries of the various districts are shown on the “Zoning Map of the City of Riverbank,” as amended, which is hereby adopted by reference and shall be treated as if set forth in full herein. The map and all notations, references, and other information shown thereon are hereby made a part of this chapter.

(`67 Code, § 10-2-3)

   The zoning map may, for convenience, be divided into parts and each such part may, for purposes of more readily identifying areas within such zoning map, be subdivided into units and each of such parts and units may be separately employed for purposes of amending the zoning map or for any official reference to the zoning map.

(`67 Code, § 10-2-4)

   Changes in the boundaries of the zones shall be made by ordinance adopting an amended zoning map, or part of the map, which the amended maps, or part or units of parts, when so adopted, shall be published in the manner prescribed by law and become a part of this chapter.

(`67 Code, § 10-2-5)

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

   (A)   Whenever the district boundary is indicated as being approximately upon the centerline of a street, alley or block, or along a property line, then, unless otherwise definitely indicated on the map, the center line of such street, alley or block or such property line, shall be construed to be the boundary of such district.

   (B)   When the application of the above rules does not clarify the zone boundary location, the Planning Commission shall interpret the map.

(`67 Code, § 10-2-6)

   No building shall hereafter be erected, nor shall any use of land be conducted except the use of land for agricultural purposes so that the same will be closer to the right-of-way line of any street than any official plan line or any building line which has been established for such street.

(`67 Code, § 10-2-7) (Ord. 82-7, passed 9-27-82)
