A copy of the official zoning district map shall be kept on file in the office of the zoning official together with all amendments that have been approved in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. It shall be the duty of the zoning official to keep any other maps used for administrative purposes up to date, clearly showing all changes, variances, and special use permits. These maps shall be available to the public for inspection. Where uncertainties exist with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the official zoning district map, the following rules shall apply.

(Ord. No. 98-03, § 1(Exh. A, § 2(2.02)), 3-17-98)

(a)

On subdivided property, a plat of which is recorded in the Plat Records of Harris County, Texas, on the effective date of this chapter, the district boundaries are intended to be streets, alleys, or property lines. Where the districts designated on the official zoning district map are bounded approximately by a street, alley, or property line, then the street, alley, or property line nearest the district boundary shall be construed to be the boundary of the district. If a boundary is not, by use of the map scale, within 100 feet of a street, alley, or property line, the boundary shall remain as shown by the map scale, except as may be varied in accordance with subsection (b) below.

(b)

Where a district boundary traverses a large parcel of land or acreage reserve in a recorded subdivision, such large parcel or acreage reserve having been divided by metes and bounds without indication upon the recorded plat of same, or where it may hereafter be divided into blocks or lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be the street, alley, or property line resulting from such subdivision nearest to the district boundary shown on the official zoning district map, provided the district boundary is not varied more than 100 feet from its location on the official zoning district map.

(c)

In unsubdivided property, the district boundaries on the official zoning district map shall be determined by use of the map scale appearing on the map, and where district boundaries on the official zoning district map are approximately the property lines of the unsubdivided property, the district boundary line shall be construed to be the property line, provided the district boundary is not varied more than 100 feet from its location on the official zoning district map.

(d)

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

(e)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following city limit lines shall be construed as following the city limit line.

(f)

Boundaries indicated as following shore lines shall be construed to follow such shore line, and in the event of change of shore line, shall be construed as moving with the actual shore line; boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerline of streams, creeks, gullies, or canals shall be construed as following such centerline.
