The City of Winchester and the unincorporated area of Clark County are hereby divided into zones and districts as provided and described herein, and as shown on the Zoning Map which is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this Zoning Order.

A complete and accurate copy of each of the official Zoning Maps shall be filed and available for public inspection in the office of the Planning Commission or the Zoning Enforcement Officer. A copy of each of the official Zoning Maps as originally adopted shall also be filed and available for public inspection in the office of the Clark County Court Clerk and the City Clerk of the City of Winchester. All amendments to the Zoning Maps shall be posted on the appropriate map within thirty (30) days after final approval of such amendment by the City of Winchester or the Fiscal Court of Clark County.

The enforcement officer shall also maintain an accurate record of all zoning map amendments, indicating the name of the applicant, the location and area of the zoning map amendment, the date of final action by the planning commission and the date of approval by the legislative body involved. A report of all zoning map amendments containing the aforementioned information shall be submitted annually and within the first sixty (60) days of the following year. This report shall be submitted to the planning commission and made a part of their minute record. One copy of said annual report shall be filed in the office of the Clark County Court Clerk.

The following rules shall be used to interpret the exact location of the zoning district boundaries shown on the Zoning Map.

A.

Where a zoning district boundary follows an alley, a street or railroad, the center line of the alley, street or railroad right-of-way is the boundary of the district.

B.

Where a zoning district boundary approximately follows a lot or property line, that line is the boundary of the district.

C.

Where a zoning district boundary follows a stream or the shore of a body of water, that stream or shore line is the boundary of the district.

D.

Where a zoning district boundary does not clearly follow any of the features mentioned above, its exact location on the ground shall be determined by measurement according to the map scale.

E.

In any case where the exact location of a boundary is not clear, the Board of Zoning Adjustment shall use these rules to determine the exact location upon application by the enforcement officer for an original interpretation.
