2.1.200 Land use district map.
A. Consistency with Zoning Map. The boundaries of the land use districts contained within this chapter shall coincide with the boundaries identified on the city’s official zoning map, retained by the city recorder. Said map by this reference is made a part of this development code. The official zoning map, and any map amendments, shall be maintained by the city.
B. Applicability. Each lot, tract, and parcel of land or portion thereof within the land use district boundaries designated on the official zoning map is classified, zoned and limited to the uses hereinafter specified and defined for the applicable land use district. (Ord. 08-06 § 3, 2008)
2.1.300 Determination of land use district boundaries.
When amending land use district boundaries, the city’s comprehensive plan map is the primary source for determining appropriate boundaries. Where the plan map does not provide sufficient detail or direction, district locations and boundaries shall be guided by the purpose and applicability statements at the beginning of each land use chapter (Chapters 2.2 through 2.8). Where, due to the scale, lack of scale, lack of detail or illegibility of the city zoning map, or due to any other reason, there is uncertainty, contradiction or conflict as to the existing or intended location of a district boundary line, the boundary line shall be determined by the planning official in accordance with all of the following criteria:
A. Rights-of-Way. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways, railroad tracks, alleys, irrigation canals, bridges, or other rights-of-way shall be construed to follow such center lines. 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 land use district designation that is applicable to lands abutting the vacated areas. In cases where the right-of-way formerly served as a land use district boundary, the lands within the right-of-way now vacated shall be allocated proportionately among the subject land use districts;
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, drainage channel, drainage basin, topographic contour or other changeable natural feature not corresponding to any feature listed in subsection (A) through (C) of this section shall be construed as following such feature, except that the location may be corrected administratively through a Type II (code interpretation) procedure under Chapter 4.8 SDC.
