17.120.020 Original zoning maps.

The designations, locations, and boundaries of the zones set forth in this section shall be shown on the zoning map of Kitsap County, Washington. Said maps and all notations, references, data, and other information shown thereon shall be and are hereby adopted and made a part of this title. The signed copies of the zoning maps containing the zones designated at the time of the adoption of this title shall be maintained without change. Any land or property not specifically identified with a zone designation shall be considered to be zoned as the most restrictive zone classification designated on adjacent and/or abutting properties, until such time as it is determined otherwise by a rezone action.

(Ord. 534 (2016) § 7(5) (App. E) (part), 2016)

17.120.030 Revised maps.

The board of county commissioners may instruct the director to replace the official zoning maps, or portions thereof, with a map or maps, or portions thereof, which include all lawful changes of zones-to-date. Such maps, or portions thereof, filed as replacements, shall bear dated, original signatures of the board of county commissioners and county auditor. Any maps or portions thereof thereby replaced, shall be retained in a separate file. Any revisions or replacement of said maps, when duly entered, signed, and filed with the county auditor as authorized by this section, are part of this title.

17.120.040 Interpretations of zone boundaries.

The zone boundary lines are indicated on the zoning maps. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any zone shown on the zoning maps, the following rules shall apply:

A. Wherever the zone boundary is indicated as being along or approximately along a street, alley, property line, or the centerline of a block, said line shall be construed as the boundary of the zone, unless otherwise indicated on the map.

B. Where the location of a zone boundary line is not determined by the above rule, and is not indicated by a written dimension, the boundaries shall be located by the use of the scale appearing on the maps.

C. Wherever any street, alley, or other public way is vacated in the manner authorized by law, the zone adjoining each side of such street, alley, or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of the former right-of-way and all of the area included in the vacation shall then be subject to all regulations of the extended zones.

D. Where the application of the above rule does not clarify the zone boundary location, the director shall interpret the maps, and by written decision, determine the location of the zone boundary and shall advise the planning commission and board of county commissioners of the decision. Said written decision shall be filed with the county auditor.
