The area of city impact zoning districts are hereby established in TCC 9.50.020. For interpretation of this chapter, the zoning districts have been formulated to realize the general purpose as set forth in this chapter and to conform with the plan and its stated goals and objectives. In addition, the specific purpose of each zoning district shall be as herein stated. (Ord. 304, 1-7-2005)

1. A Agricultural District: The purpose of the A district is to permit current agricultural, large lot rural residential and other types of open land uses to be maintained, and to protect agricultural land from spasmodic, disorderly and indiscriminate development. This district is also established to control the infiltration of urban type development, which could adversely affect agricultural operations, until such time as property owners desire such development.
2. R-A Residential - Agricultural District: The purpose of the R-A district is to create, protect and maintain a living environment composed of single-family, detached dwellings on lots of a minimum of one acre to be able to maintain the minimum distances required for setback, drain fields, canals, property lines in areas now so developed or to be developed.
3. HC Highway Commercial District: The purpose of the HC district is to provide for the location and development of businesses and service establishments which are incompatible with other districts in that they involve enterprises which depend primarily on motorized vehicular traffic and require outside activities, relatively large lot sizes and easy highway access. These districts are normally located along highways leading into the city and are characterized by buildings set well back from the right of way.
4. M Manufacturing District: The purpose of the M district is to encourage manufacturing and wholesaling activities in an area which will impact as little as possible on the other districts within the city and area of city impact. As this type of enterprise needs heavy truck or railroad access, it is normally located along highways leading into the city or along railways. The district should be kept free from residential and retail commercial activities. (Ord. 304, 1-7-2005)
   

The boundaries of the area of city impact zoning districts are shown on the official city of Teton area of impact map which is adopted as part of this chapter. (Ord. 304, 1-7-2005)

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the area of city impact use districts as shown on the official area of impact map, the following shall apply:

1. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline of streets, highway rights of way, streams, canals or other bodies of water, the centerline shall be construed to be such boundary; with the exception of a three hundred foot (300') buffer along the North Fork of the Teton River.
2. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be said boundaries.
3. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerlines or street lines of streets or the centerlines or right of way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the official area of impact map. (Ord. 304, 1-7-2005)
