Talent City Zoning Code

Division I

Title, Purpose and Establishment of Zones

18.05 Title and Purpose

A. This title shall be known as the “Zoning Code of the City of Talent.” The short title shall be “zoning code” and will be used in this title and TMC Title 17.

B. This code shall consist of the text hereof and the map entitled “The Zoning Map of the City of Talent,” and identified by the approving signature of the mayor, the chairperson of the planning commission, and the city recorder of the city of Talent, which signatures were affixed on June 24, 1980. An updated zoning map was adopted in conjunction with the reorganization of the zoning code and replaces the above map. The map will be on file with the city recorder. If any conflict between said map and the text of this title should arise, the text shall prevail.

18.10 Establishment of Zones

Zoning regulations in effect in an area prior to annexation to the city shall continue to apply and shall be enforced by the city until such time as a zone change has been adopted or a new zone created by the city for the annexed area. Newly created zoning districts shall conform to the city’s comprehensive plan.

…

18.05.010 Title.

A. This title shall be known as the “Zoning Code of the City of Talent.” The short title shall be “zoning code” and will be used in this title and TMC Title 17.

18.05.020 Purpose.

The purpose of this title is to encourage the appropriate and orderly physical development in the city through standards to regulate and control the location and use of the land, buildings and structures for residential, commercial, industrial, and other purposes; meet the policies and text of the comprehensive plan of the city of Talent; to provide assurance of opportunities for effective utilization of land; and to promote in other ways the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare. [Ord. 817 § 8-3A.120, 2006.]

18.10.010 Compliance with ordinance provisions.

A lot may be used, and a structure or part of a structure constructed, reconstructed, altered, occupied or used, only as specifically provided and allowed by this title in the zone in which such building, structure and/or land is located. [Ord. 966 § 2 (Exh. B), 2021; Ord. 817 § 8-3A.210, 2006.]

18.10.020 Classification of zones.

For the purposes of this title, the city of Talent is hereby divided into the following land use zones:

Zone Description	Map Designation
Low-Density Residential	RLD
Medium-Density Residential	RMD
High-Density Residential	RHD
Mobile Homes	RMH
Neighborhood Commercial	CN
Central Business District	CBD
Highway Central Business District	CBH
Highway Commercial	CH
Interchange Commercial	CI
Light Industrial	IL
Overlay – Floodplain – Parks – Greenway	OFPG
Overlay – Historic Sites, Buildings and District	OHD
Overlay – Steep Slopes	OSS

[Ord. 966 § 2 (Exh. B), 2021; Ord. 817 § 8-3A.220, 2006.]

18.10.030 Establishment of zones by map.

A. The location and boundaries of the zones designated in TMC 18.10.020 are hereby established as shown on the map entitled “The Zoning Map of the City of Talent,” bearing the number of the ordinance codified in this title and authenticated by the signature of the mayor and city recorder endorsed thereon at the time of the passage of the ordinance codified in this title. The map shall be hereinafter referred to as the “zoning map.” An updated zoning map was adopted by Ordinance No. 817 (November 1, 2006) along with the reorganization of the zoning code.

B. The signed copy of said zoning map is maintained permanently on file in the office of the city recorder and is hereby made a part of this title as though fully set forth herein. Any revisions or replacements of said map, when duly entered, signed, and filed with the city recorder as authorized in subsection (C) of this section, are a part of this title.

C. When the zoning of any area is changed by the city council in the manner prescribed by this title, the official zoning map shall be revised so that it accurately portrays said change, and the mayor shall endorse the map with the number of the ordinance by which the zone change was effected, at the time of the passage of the ordinance; provided, however, that failure to revise the map shall not affect the validity of any zone change. The council may, from time to time, order the preparation of a replacement of the official zoning map or a portion thereof, which includes all lawful changes of zone and city boundaries to date. Such map, or portion thereof, filed as a replacement shall bear the number of the ordinance authorizing the same and shall bear dated, authenticating signatures of the mayor and city recorder. Any map or portion thereof which is replaced shall be retained in a separate file by the city recorder. [Ord. 966 § 2 (Exh. B), 2021; Ord. 817 § 8-3A.230, 2006.]

18.10.040 Boundaries of zones.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zone as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

A. Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following street or alley centerlines or right-of-way lines, or lot lines, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

B. If the zone boundary line divides a lot into two or more zones, the entire lot shall be placed in the zone that accounts for the greater area of the lot by the adjustment of the zone boundary; provided, that the boundary adjustment is for a distance of less than 20 feet. If an adjustment of more than 20 feet is required, the change in the zone boundary shall be treated as a change of zone.

C. In the case of unsubdivided property, and where a zone boundary divides such property (except as provided in subsection (B) of this section), the location of such zone boundaries shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on said zoning map.

D. Areas of dedicated streets or alleys and railroad rights-of-way which are not designated on the zoning map as being classified in one of the zones provided in this title shall be deemed to be unclassified and, in the case of railroad rights-of-way, shall be permitted to be used solely for the purpose of accommodating tracks, signals, other operative devices and the movement of rolling stock. [Ord. 966 § 2 (Exh. B), 2021; Ord. 817 § 8-3A.240, 2006.]

18.10.050 Zoning of annexed areas.
