§ 102-84. Application of zoning map.

(a)

Official map. The boundaries of zone districts are shown on the official zone map which is hereby adopted and made a part of this article as if fully described herein. At least one copy of the map is on file in the office of the city clerk of the city for inspection by the public during regular business hours. A reproduction of the map shall be available upon request and payment of a reasonable charge. Any use not designated as a permissive or conditional use in a zone district is specifically prohibited in that zone, except as otherwise provided herein.

(b)

Boundaries. Zoning boundaries indicated as approximately following right-of-way lines of streets, alleys, municipal limits, railroads, irrigation or drainageways shall be construed as following such lines.

(c)

Vacations. Zoning along frontage of a public right-of-way shall automatically extend to the centerline upon vacation from public use of said right-of-way.

(d)

Zone change. An application for change of zone of unplatted land must be accompanied by a plat delineating the boundaries of each tract requested to be rezoned.

(e)

Interpretation. Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered above, the commission shall interpret the district zone boundaries.

(f)

Multiple-zoned lots. Circumstances may justify the need to designate more than one zone on a single lot. In such cases, zone boundaries within a multiple-zoned lot shall be more fully described in the zoning map by showing any necessary dimensions of zones in relation to existing property lines.

(g)

Annexation. Appropriate zoning for all lands annexed to the city shall be designated by the city council following a review and recommendation made by the commission. Zoning within annexed areas shall be consistent with development policies of the city.
