A zoning map or zoning map amendment adopted by Section 17.12.030 or by an amendment to the section shall be prepared by authority of the city planning commission or be a modification by the city council of a map or map amendments so prepared. The map or map amendment shall be dated with the date of its approval by the planning commission or the effective date of the ordinance that adopts the map or map amendment.

Unless otherwise specified, district boundaries are lot lines, the centerlines of streets or such lines extended. If a district boundary divides a lot into two districts, the entire lot shall be placed in the district that accounts for the greater area of the lot by the adjustment of the district boundary, provided the boundary adjustment is for a distance not to exceed twenty feet. (Ord. 1436 §2(part), 1981).
17.12.060 Zoning of annexed area.
All future annexations are expected to include only lands within the city’s urban growth boundary (UGB). The comprehensive plan of Central Point includes a plan for future land uses within the UGB area. The zoning map described in Section 17.12.030 is consistent with the comprehensive plan and will determine the district into which a newly annexed area is placed. The appropriate zoning district shall be applied to the area upon annexation. (Ord. 1615 §5, 1989; Ord. 1436 §2(part), 1981).
