Story County Unincorporated
City Zoning Code

   1.   The boundaries of these districts are indicated upon the Official Zoning Map of Story County, Iowa, which map is made a part of the Ordinance by reference hereto. The Official Zoning Map and all the notations, references, and other matters shown thereon shall be as much a part of the Ordinance as if the notations, references, and other matters set forth by said map were all fully described herein. The Official Zoning Map shall be on file, physically and digitally, in the office of the Story County Planning and Development Director and shall bear the signature of the Chairperson of the Board of Supervisors attested by the County Auditor, under the certification that this is the Official Zoning Map of Story County, Iowa.

   2.   The Board of Supervisors may adopt a new Official Zoning Map which shall supersede the prior Official Zoning Map; in the event that the Official Zoning Map becomes damaged or destroyed; or for purposes of clarity due to a number of boundary changes, or to correct drafting errors or omissions; provided, however, any such adoption shall not have the effect of amending the Ordinance or any subsequent amendment thereof.

   3.   Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:

      A.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, alleys, or road rights-of-way and/or easements shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

      B.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.

      C.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following section lines, quarter-section lines, or quarter-quarter section lines shall be construed as following such lines.

      D.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following corporate limits shall be construed as following corporate limits.

      E.   Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

      F.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of rivers, streams, creeks, or other waterways shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

      G.   Boundaries not capable of being determined in the previous paragraphs shall be as dimensioned on the Official Zoning Map, or if not dimensioned, shall be determined by the scale shown on the map.

   4.   Where one parcel of property is divided into two or more portions by reason of different zoning district classifications, each of these portions shall be used independently of the others in its respective zoning classification for the determination of permitted uses and application of bulk standards.
