It is the intent of this chapter to implement the Skamania County Comprehensive Plan in a manner which shall be consistent with the Rural I, Rural II, and Conservancy land use areas, and with the Carson, Swift, and West End Subarea Plans.

Zones shall be shown on the zoning map and its revisions. Zones listed below implement the intent of the three land use area designations of the comprehensive plan and shall be uniformly interpreted and mapped within appropriate area designations. Where the abbreviated designation is used it has the same meaning as the entire zone classification title.

The series of zones that shall be adopted herein shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan land use area designations. The matrix indicates consistency (C) and nonconsistency (NC) in the table below.

Unless otherwise specified, zone boundaries shall be property lines, the centerlines of road rights-of-way, utility rights-of-way and railroad rights-of-way, and legal subdivisional lines (section and section breakdown lines, township and range lines).
