17.06.040 Boundary interpretation.

Should uncertainty exist as to the location of any of the zoning boundaries, the following rules shall apply:

A.    Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline of streets, alleys, highways, waterways or railroad tracks, the actual centerline shall be construed to be the boundary.

B.    Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot or tract lines, the actual lot or tract line shall be construed to be the boundary.

C.    Where district boundaries divide a tract in an unsubdivided property, the location of the district boundary shall be determined by the scale of measurement.

D.    In case uncertainty exists which cannot be determined by application of the foregoing rules, the planning commission shall determine the location of such district boundaries.  (Ord. 1438 §2(part), 2014)
