18.08.015 1450 Artesia Specific Plan.

The 1450 Artesia Specific Plan zone is intended to be used for a mix of commercial and industrial uses. No development shall occur in this zone until a specific plan for the properties within this area is adopted by the city council. (Ord. 1873 § 1, 2024; Ord. 1848 § 7, 2023; Ord. 1847 § 7, 2023)

18.08.020 Zoning map.

The zones established by this chapter and the boundaries of such zones are shown upon a map which is made a part of this title and which is designated as the “official zoning map.” Such zoning map, for convenience, may be divided into parts, and each such part, for the purposes of more readily identifying areas within such zoning map, may be subdivided into units, and each such part and unit may be separately used for the purposes of amending the zoning map or for any official reference to the zoning map. Such map, and each such part and unit, and the notations, references and other information shown thereon, shall be as much a part of this chapter as if the matters and information set forth by such map were all fully described in this chapter. (Prior code § 10-3.402)

18.08.030 Uncertainty of boundaries.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any zone shown on the zoning maps, the following rules shall apply:

A. Street, Alley, or Lot Lines. Where the indicated zone boundaries are approximately street, alley or lot lines, such lines shall be construed to be the boundaries; otherwise such boundaries shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the zoning maps, unless specifically indicated by dimensions.

B. Determination by Commission. Where uncertainty exists, the commission, by written decision, shall determine the location of the zone boundary.

C. Vacated Streets or Alleys. Where a street or alley is officially vacated or abandoned, the zone boundary shall be changed so as to include such vacated or abandoned street or alley, or portion thereof, in the same zone as the adjoining property to which it reverts. (Prior code § 10-3.403)

18.08.040 Split-zoned residential parcels.
