§ 17.40.040. Zoning district boundaries.

A.

Zoning district boundaries depicted on the official zoning map shall be interpreted as follows:

1.

Centerlines. Unless specified otherwise by the amending ordinance, district boundaries aligned along streets, alleys, controlled access highways, railroads, watercourses, or pronounced topographic features shall be interpreted to fall along the centerlines of those features.

2.

Lot or Deed Property Lines. District boundaries indicated on the official zoning map as approximately following platted lot lines or deeded property lines shall be interpreted as being coincident with those lines.

3.

Uncertainties. In a case of uncertainty, the location of a district boundary shall be determined by the zoning administrator, subject to appeal to the board of zoning appeals.

B.

Overlay district boundaries depicted on the official zoning map shall be interpreted as follows:

1.

Overlay District Lines. Unless specified otherwise by the amending ordinance, overlay district boundaries indicated on the official zoning map that approximately follow zoning district lines shall be interpreted as being coincident with those zoning district lines.

2.

Administrative Mapping Errors. Where it is determined that due to an administrative error, the official zoning map either depicts an overlay district boundary which encompasses property that was never intended to be included within the overlay district boundary or fails to depict property which was intended to be included within an overlay district boundary, and such determination is supported by official documentation, the planning commission shall modify the official zoning map for the metro clerk to accurately reflect the proper overlay district boundary.
