For the purpose of this title, in regulating use of land, water, and buildings, all properties zoned R-O prior to enactment of the ordinance codified in this title shall henceforth be designated CO-2. [Ord. G-89-17, passed
5-24-89; Ord. G-76-10, passed 2-28-77. 1962 Code, Art. 9, Ch. 2, § 1; 1982 Code § 153.005; 1983 Code § 15.153.005.]
18.10.020 Annexed areas.
All areas annexed to the City will retain the same zoning classification as before annexation, except that all areas zoned agricultural in the County before annexation will be zoned R-1 single-family residential in the City after annexation. [Ord. G-89-17, passed 5-24-89; Ord. G-76-10, passed 2-28-77. 1962 Code, Art. 9, Ch. 2, § 2; 1982 Code § 153.006; 1983 Code § 15.153.006.]
18.10.030 Water areas.
The water surface and land under the water surface of all canals, creeks, rivers, waterways, ponds, lakes, and other water areas in the City are in the same zoning district as the land which it abuts as shown on the zoning district maps. Where the zoning districts shown on the zoning district maps are different on opposite sides of the water area, the zoning district on each side extends to the centerline or midpoint of the water area. For convenience of mapping and clarity, the zoning of water areas is not shown on the zoning district maps, but is determined by the provisions of this title. [Ord. G-89-17, passed 5-24-89; Ord. G-76-10, passed 2-28-77. 1962 Code, Art. 9, Ch. 2, § 3; 1982 Code § 153.007; 1983 Code § 15.153.007.]
18.10.040 District boundaries.
(A) Unless otherwise shown, the district boundaries are centerlines of streets, alleys, or the subdividing or boundary lines of recorded plats or their extensions. If the districts designated on the zoning district maps are approximately bounded by street lines, alley lines, or the subdividing or boundary lines of recorded plats, those lines or their extensions are district boundaries.
(B) If, due to the scale or illegibility of the zoning district maps, or due to the absence of a street, alley, or recorded subdividing or plat lines, there is any uncertainty, contradiction, or conflict about the location of a district boundary, the Area Plan Commission shall recommend the designation to the Common Council. The Common Council shall designate the location for that district boundary in accordance with the provisions of this title.
(C) If the boundary line of a zoning district classification divides a lot, the provisions of this title covering the less restrictive portion of that lot apply to the entire lot, unless the frontage of the lot is in the more restricted district, in which case the provisions covering the more restricted portion apply to the entire lot.
(D) The provisions of subsection (C) of this section do not apply to situations where specific portions of a lot are rezoned to accommodate a different use from that use of the remainder of the lot. [Ord. G-89-17, passed 5-24-89; Ord. G-76-10, passed 2-28-77. 1962 Code, Art. 9, Ch. 2, § 4; 1982 Code § 153.008; 1983 Code § 15.153.008.]
