Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following street and alley lines, such lines shall be construed to follow the center of the street or alley, or along the lot line if the lot line is not also a street boundary; and

b.

Where public street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned and the regulations applicable to the property to which it reverts shall apply to such vacated or abandoned street or alley; and

c.

For property described by district boundary, the locations of such boundaries unless indicated by dimensions shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map; and

(§ I, Ord. 94-07, eff. April 14, 1994)

Siskiyou County Zoning Ordinance is a permissive Zoning Ordinance. That means that only those uses which are described as permitted within each zoning district will be allowed within that district. Attempting to ensure that all classes of uses have been included within the Zoning Code, the County has utilized the Standard Industrial Classification Manual as prepared by the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget, dated 1987.

Rather than call out each specific use that could be allowed in each zone, this chapter classifies major categories of use as either permitted or conditionally permitted as grouped by the Industrial Classification Manual.

As a result of this classification system, certain uses may be included within the topic heading, but not called out as specifically allowed either by right or by Use Permit. In these instances, the Planning Director is authorized to evaluate the use proposed against the General Standards as set forth in the district relative to permitted uses vs. conditionally permitted uses and determine into which category the use should be included.

(§ I, Ord. 94-07, eff. April 14, 1994)

More than one permitted use may be permitted on one lot in any zoning district provided there is no conflict between the uses and, further, provided that the applicable zone requirements and County Development Standards are met. Each use must meet the lot area requirements without using the lot area requirements of another use. For lots for which a Use Permit has been approved, the only uses allowed are those specifically described by the Use Permit.
