Sections:
17.08.010 Official zoning map.
17.08.020 Use districts designated.
17.08.030 Interpretation of zoning regulations.
17.08.010 Official zoning map.
The location and boundaries of the districts designated in this chapter are established as shown on the series of maps entitled “Zoning Map of Adams County.” The zoning map shall be dated with the effective date of the enacting ordinance, codified in this chapter, or any amendment thereto, and signed by the chairman of the board of commissioners, and the chair and executive secretary of the planning commission. The signed copy of the zoning map shall be maintained on file with the county auditor and is made a part of this title. (Ord. O-01-05 § 2 (part))
17.08.020 Use districts designated.
To further the identified purposes of this title, the following zoning district categories and zoning map symbols are established:
A. Prime agriculture district (AP).
B. General agriculture district (AG).
C. Residential district (R-1).
D. Rural residential district (RR).
E. Commercial district (C).
F. Light industrial district (LI).
G. Heavy industrial district (HI).
H. Rural settlement district (RS). (Ord. O-01-05 § 2 (part))
17.08.030 Interpretation of zoning regulations.
Where uncertainty exists as to any of the zoning boundaries as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Where such boundaries are indicated as substantially following the centerline of the roads, streets, highways, alleys, railroads, or rivers, the centerline shall be construed to be such boundaries;
B. Where such boundaries are indicated as substantially following lot lines, the lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries;
C. In subdivided land where a zoning boundary divides an ownership, the location of the boundary shall be determined by the scale measurement;
D. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections A through C of this section shall be so construed. (Ord. O-01-05 § 2 (part))
17.08.040 District use chart.
A district use chart is established and contained herein as a tool for the purpose of determining the specific uses allowed in each use district. No use shall be allowed in a use district that is not listed in the use chart as either a permitted, accessory or conditional use, unless the administrator determines that an unlisted use is similar to one that is already enumerated in the use chart and may therefore be allowed, subject to the requirements associated with that use and all other applicable provisions of the Adams County Code.
The use chart located on the following pages is made a part of this section. The following acronyms apply to the following use chart. If there is nothing located in the district for a listed use, that use is not allowed.
