4-2-030 ZONING MAP INTERPRETATION:

A. BOUNDARIES:

The district boundaries are, unless otherwise indicated, the centerlines of streets, centerlines of alleys or lot lines as shown on the maps.

B. DIFFERENCES IN STREET LAYOUT:

Where the street layout actually on the ground varies from that shown on the Zoning District Maps, the designations shown on the maps shall be applied to the street as actually laid out so as to carry out the intent and purpose of the zoning plan of that district.

C. CONFLICT BETWEEN ZONING MAP AND CHAPTER TEXT:

If any conflict exists between the Zoning District Map and the text of this Chapter, the text of the Chapter shall prevail.

D. CONFLICT BETWEEN ZONING MAP AND REZONE ORDINANCE:

If any conflict exists between the adopted Zoning Map of the City, as depicted by the zoning layer shown on the City of Renton’s COR Maps, and the text of any rezone ordinance for any particular parcel of property, the text of the rezone ordinance shall prevail. Once any conflict is shown to exist, the Zoning Map of the City shall be updated to be consistent with the text of the rezone ordinance. (Ord. 5450, 3-2-2009)

E. DETERMINATION AUTHORITY WHERE A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ZONING MAP AND REZONE ORDINANCE IS UNCLEAR:

If any conflict is shown to exist that cannot be resolved by comparing the adopted Zoning Map, as depicted by the zoning layer shown on the City of Renton’s COR Maps, to the text of any rezone ordinance, the Administrator shall determine the source of the conflict and make a recommendation for action by the Council after the Planning Commission holds a public hearing regarding the conflict. Notification of the public hearing will be sent by regular mail to the property owner(s) of the subject property and all other property owners within three hundred feet (300') of the subject property.

F. DESIGNATION OF SPECIAL ZONING CATEGORIES AND TIME LIMITATIONS:

Properties having a zoning category subject to a time limitation, such as a Planned Urban Development approval or reversionary zoning, and those properties under contract rezone shall be specially designated on the Zoning Map to indicate their special nature and give notice to the public that further inquiry into their zoning status is necessary. (Ord. 5153, 9-26-2005)

G. ZONING MAP UPDATES:

The Zoning Map of the City of Renton shall be updated at the time of zoning changes or official annexations or as necessary to resolve conflicts. When a zoning change or annexation ordinance is adopted, the Zoning Map shall be updated to coincide with the effective date of the ordinance. (Ord. 5450, 3-2-2009)
