The boundaries of the zoning districts are hereby established and delineated on the official zoning map entitled “City of Fife Zoning Map,” dated July 14, 1998.

19.10.040 Rezones.
Rezones shall be made by ordinance and the resulting boundary change shall be reflected on the official zoning map. The rezone procedure shall be in conformance with Chapter 19.92 FMC. The rezone boundary, ordinance number and date shall be identified on the zoning map. A contract rezone or a planned development overlay shall be identified by the placement of the applicable ordinance number after the zoning district designation on the zoning map (i.e., SFR(3875)). (Ord. 1317 § 3, 1998).
19.10.050 Interpretation of map boundaries.
A. Rules of Interpretation. When uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zoning district shown on official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
1. Where district boundaries are separated by a right-of-way, such boundaries shall extend to the centerline of such right-of-way. Where a district boundary and city limit are separated by a right-of-way, such boundary shall extend to such city limit;
2. Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following the centerline of an alley, street, highway, freeway, railroad track, creek or river, such centerline shall be construed to be the district boundary;
3. Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following a lot line, such lot line shall be construed to be the district boundary;
4. Where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the official zoning map.
B. Uncertainty of District Boundary. If, after using the above rules, the director is unable to conclusively identify a district boundary, the planning commission shall recommend and the city council shall determine the location of the district boundary. (Ord. 1317 § 3, 1998).
19.10.060 Zoning regulations applicable within districts.
The regulations implementing FMC 19.02.020 are hereby established and declared to be in effect upon all land included within the boundaries of each and every zoning district shown upon the official zoning map.
A. Title Compliance. Except as provided elsewhere in this title:

No structure shall be erected and no existing structure shall be moved, altered, reconstructed, replaced or enlarged, nor shall any land or structure be used for any purpose or in any manner other than a use listed in this title as permitted in the zoning district in which such land or structure is located.
2. No structure shall be erected, nor shall any existing structure be moved, altered, reconstructed, replaced or enlarged to exceed in height the limit established by this title for the zoning district in which such structure is located.
3. No structure shall be erected nor shall any structure be moved, altered, reconstructed, replaced or enlarged, nor shall any open space surrounding any structure be encroached upon or reduced in any manner, except in conformity with the development requirements established by this title for the zoning district in which such structure is located.
4. No improvement, yard or open space on a lot shall be considered as providing improvement, yard or open space for another lot except as provided for by this title.
