25.15.030 Zoning map.
(1) The boundaries of the use districts are shown on the official zoning map, which together with all explanatory matters thereon, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this title. The regulations of this title governing the use of land, buildings and structures, the height of buildings and structures, the sizes of yards about buildings and structures, and other matters set forth in this title are hereby established and declared to be in effect upon all land included within the boundaries of each and every district shown upon the zoning map.
(2) The boundaries of the use district shall be determined or defined or redefined from time to time, by the adoption of district maps covering the city showing the geographical area and location of the district. Each district map shall be, upon its final adoption, a part of this title, and the map, all notations, references and other information shown shall be made a part of this title as though all matters and information set forth on the map were fully described herein.
(3) The official zoning map shall be identified by the signature of the mayor and be attested and notarized by the city clerk. The original copy of the official zoning map shall be retained in the office of the city clerk. (Ord. 18-1034 § 2 (Exhs. 6, 7); Ord. 02-707 § 1)
25.15.040 Boundary interpretation.
The boundaries between classifications of the official zoning maps shall be interpreted specifically as shown on the maps and associated ordinances. Should uncertainty remain in regards to location or meaning of a boundary, the location or meaning shall be determined utilizing the following rules:
(1) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline of streets, alleys, highways, waterways or railroad tracks, the actual centerline shall be construed to be the boundary.
(2) Where district boundaries are indicated on such map as approximately following the lot or tract lines, the actual lot or tract lines shall be construed to be the boundary of such use district.
(3) Where a district boundary on the official zoning map divides a tract in unsubdivided property, the location of the use district boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the official zoning map.
(4) Where a public street or alley is officially vacated the regulations applying to the abutting property to which the vacated portion reverts shall apply to such vacated street or alley.
(5) In case uncertainty exists which cannot be determined by application of the foregoing rules, the hearing examiner shall determine the location of such use district boundaries pursuant to the provisions for code interpretations. (Ord. 18-1034 § 2 (Exhs. 6, 7); Ord. 02-707 § 1)
