White Pine County Unincorporated
City Zoning Code

   A.   The districts listed in section 17.16.010 of this title and the boundaries of such districts are shown on the zoning maps attached to the ordinance codified herein and made an integral part of this title by reference. All the notations, references and other information shown on the map, or future maps duly adopted, shall be as much a part of this title as if the matters and information were fully described in this title.

   B.   Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any district shown on any map adopted by this section, the following rules shall apply:

      1.   Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following or paralleling street lines, alley lines, lot or property lines, as they exist at the time of enactment of this chapter, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

      2.   In subdivided property or where the district boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by specific dimension, shall be determined by use of a scale appearing on the map.

      3.   In case any further uncertainty exists the commission shall interpret the intent of the map as to the location of such boundaries. (Ord. 203 §8, 1987)

   A.   The county may from time to time, after report by the commission and after public hearings, amend, modify, or repeal the regulations, restrictions or classifications of property and the boundaries of districts established in this title.

   B.   Amendments may be initiated by:

      1.   The commission upon its own motion; or

      2.   The county upon its own motion; or

      3.   An application signed by one or more of the owners of the property within the area proposed to be changed and upon the payment by the applicant of an application fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) to cover the costs of processing such application.

An application for change of land use classification or other amendment to the zoning ordinance shall be filed with the commission and be accompanied by such data and information as may be prescribed by the commission so as to assure the fullest practicable presentation of facts. The commission shall hold a public hearing upon an amendment or application for change of land use classification. Within thirty (30) days after the public hearing on such application, the commission shall report its findings and recommend in writing to the county for approval or denial of the proposed change or amendment. The applicant shall also be notified of the commission's findings and recommendations.

   C.   When the commission deems it necessary, it may consider other property for a change or amendment in addition to the property described in an application for change of land use classification and may include such additional property in the notices of hearing, and consider amendments relating to such property at the public hearing.

   D.   The county shall consider the application and report of the commission thereon at its next regular meeting after receipt of such report. If, after further public hearing is deemed necessary, the county determines that the public necessity, convenience, general welfare or good zoning practice requires the change or reclassification of any portion thereof, the county shall by ordinance effect such amendment or reclassification of any portion thereof. (Ord. 251 §1, 1990: Ord. 203 §29, 1987)
