17.201.010 Purpose and classification of zones.

Every parcel, lot, and tract of land within the city of Dundee is designated with a zoning district. The use of land is limited to the uses allowed by the applicable zoning district. Zoning designations shall be as depicted on the city of Dundee zoning map, which shall be consistent with the city of Dundee comprehensive plan. The planning official maintains official copies of the zoning map and comprehensive plan. Where a conflict between documents arises, the comprehensive plan shall govern. [Ord. 521-2013 § 3 (Exh. A)].

17.201.020 Determination of zoning boundaries.

Where due to the scale, lack of scale, lack of detail or illegibility of the zoning map, or due to any other reason, there is uncertainty, contradiction or conflict as to the intended location of a zoning boundary line, the boundary line shall be determined by the planning official or, upon referral, the planning commission, in accordance with all of the following criteria:

A. Rights-of-Way. Boundaries that approximately follow the centerlines of streets, highways, alleys, bridges, or other rights-of-way shall be construed to follow such centerlines. Where the right-of-way is not shown as zoned, the zoning of the abutting property shall extend to the centerline. Whenever any public right-of-way is lawfully vacated, the lands formerly within the vacated right-of-way shall automatically be subject to the same zoning designation that is applicable to lands abutting the vacated areas. In cases where the right-of-way formerly served as a zoning boundary, the vacated lands within the former right-of-way shall be allocated to the zones in the same manner as the vacated lands are apportioned to the abutting lands;

B. Parcel, Lot, Tract. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the boundaries of a parcel, lot, or tract shall be construed as following such boundaries;

C. Jurisdiction Boundary. Boundaries indicated as approximately following a city or county boundary, or the urban growth boundary, shall be construed as following said boundary; and

D. Natural Features. Boundaries indicated as approximately following a river, stream, topographic contour or other changeable natural feature not corresponding to any feature listed in subsections (A) through (C) of this section shall be construed as following such feature. [Ord. 521-2013 § 3 (Exh. A)].
