Title 18 ZONING
Chapter 18.15 LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES OF DISTRICTS
18.15.020 Determination of boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any of the
aforesaid districts on said map, the following rules shall apply. Where more
than one of the rules are applicable in any given situation, the first
enumerated rule shall prevail:
A. Where a district boundary line is shown by a specific
dimension, such specific dimension shall control.
B. Where a district boundary line is located within or along
a street, alley, right-of-way, or waterway, the district boundary line shall be
deemed to be the center of such street, alley, right-of-way, or waterway, or
extension therefrom.
C. Where a district boundary line is shown as approximately
following platted lot lines, the district boundary line shall be deemed to
coincide with such platted lot lines.
D. If none of the above rules is found to be sufficient to
resolve the question, the zoning administrator:
1. Shall, using a scaled rule, measure a line drawn on the
map, take note of the dimensions and record such dimensions on the map, thus
establishing for future reference the location of said boundary in a manner to
be consistent; or
2. May make a decision, based on his knowledge and
understanding of this title, specifically determining the location of the
boundary in question. Any such decision becomes fixed unless amended by the
city council, and a reference shall be entered on the map showing the date such
decision was made. The zoning administrator shall keep on permanent file any
such decision which may be altered or amended by the city council. (Ord. 523
