17.12.050 Determination of boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various zones, the following rules shall apply:
A. Streets or Alleys. Where the indicated zoning boundaries are approximately street or alley lines, the center lines of such streets or alleys shall be construed to be the boundaries.
B. Lot Lines. Where the indicated boundaries are approximately lot lines, the lot lines shall be construed to be the boundaries of the zone.
C. Vacated Street or Alley. In the event a dedicated street or alley is vacated by ordinance, the property formerly in the street or alley shall be included within the zone of the adjoining property on either side of the street or alley. In the event the street or alley was a zone boundary between two or more different zones, the new zone boundary shall be the former center line of the vacated street or alley.
D. Where a boundary line is not determined by any of the above, the zoning boundary shall be determined by using the scale contained on the zoning map. If uncertainty still exists the boundary line shall be established by the planning commission after notifying all affected landowners and obtaining their comments. [Ord. 166 § 3.05, 1979].
17.12.060 Limitations on structures and lots.
No building or part thereof shall be erected nor shall any existing building be altered, enlarged or moved into any zone in any manner not in compliance with the minimum yards, maximum building height, maximum density and other regulations for the zone in which such building is located, nor shall any parcel of land be divided or the boundaries thereof be adjusted in any manner not in compliance with the minimum lot area, minimum yards, maximum density and other regulations for the zone in which such lot is located, except as provided in Chapters 17.56 through 17.64 TMC. No yard or other space provided about any building for the purposes of complying with the provisions of these regulations shall be considered as providing a yard or open space for more than one building or lot unless specifically permitted elsewhere in these regulations. [Ord. 166 § 3.06, 1979].
17.12.070 Zoning of annexed property.
A. Any lands or waters which shall be annexed shall be automatically zoned the principal zone intended to apply to the land use classification applied to the annexed property in the Trinidad general plan; provided, that any portion of the annexed area with a land use classification of suburban residential shall be zoned suburban residential with a special building site of five acres subject to subsection (B) of this section.
B. The owner of any land, prior to filing a petition for annexation to the city, or in the event a proposed annexation shall be instituted by the city or other property owners, may file an application for prezoning by complying with the provisions, procedures and paying the fees set forth in Chapters 17.68 and 17.76 TMC for amendments to the zoning title. The zoning established by the city shall be submitted to the California Coastal Commission for approval. The zoning approved by the city and the Coastal Commission shall become effective at the same time that the annexation becomes effective. Required fees may be waived by the city council when the annexation is instituted by the city. [Ord. 166 § 3.07, 1979].
