Sec. 2.2 / Zoning Map
The boundaries of the zoning districts established by this Code are shown on the “Official Zoning Map of City of Prescott, Arizona” which is a part of this Code as fully as if it were set out in this Code in detail. Original zoning district maps in digital and/or hard copy are maintained in the office of the Community Development Director and/or the GIS/IT Division. In case of any dispute regarding the zoning classification of property subject to this Code, the original maps maintained by the Community Development Director shall control. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. Omitted Land
It is the intent of this Code that every part of the incorporated City of Prescott be included in one of the zoning districts established by this Code. Zoning assigned at the time of annexation may not be greater in density or intensity than the applicable county zoning.
B. Additional Land Areas
Any land area that comes under the jurisdiction of this Code shall be classified in accordance with state statutes.
C. Multiple Zoning Districts
Whenever a lot of record is divided by a zoning boundary, the development of the lot shall conform to the land use and design criteria of the zoning district in place on that specific portion of the lot.
D. District Boundaries
The following rules govern interpretations regarding the location of zoning district boundaries.
1. Municipal Boundaries
Boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, the limits of any incorporated municipality shall be construed as following those limits.
2. Streets and Highways
Unless otherwise indicated on the map, boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, streets and/or highways shall be construed to follow the centerlines of those streets and/or highways.
3. Property Lines
Boundary lines shown as following, or approximately following, platted lot lines or other property lines shall be construed as following those lines as shown on the county assessor’s parcel maps.
4. Section Lines
Boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, section lines, half-section lines, or quarter-section lines shall be construed as following those lines.
5. Railroads
Unless otherwise indicated on the map, boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, railroad lines shall be construed to lie midway between the main tracks of those railroad lines.
6. Shorelines
Boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, shorelines of any body of water shall be construed to follow the mean high waterlines of that body of water; and, in the event of change in the mean high waterline, shall be construed as moving with the actual mean high waterline.
7. Watercourses
Boundaries shown as following, or approximately following, the centerlines of streams, rivers, or other continuously flowing watercourses shall be construed as following the channel centerline of those watercourses taken at mean low water; and, in the event of a natural change in the location of those streams, rivers, or other watercourses, the zone boundary shall be construed as moving with the channel centerline.
8. Map Scale and Distances
Boundaries shown as separated from, and parallel or approximately parallel to, any of the features listed in this subsection shall be construed to be parallel to those features and at such distances as are shown on the zoning district map. Distances not specifically indicated on the map shall be determined by the scale of the map.

All of the use categories used in the table are explained in Sec. 11.1, Use Categories. The first column contains a list of specific uses which provide an abbreviated explanation of the respective use category.

“Stand-alone professional practices” (practices not having a residential component) are possible subject to the processing of a conditional use permit.
A community residence is allowed as of right if it (1) is at least 800 linear feet from the closest existing community residence as measured from the nearest property line of the proposed community residence to the nearest property line of the existing community residence along legal pedestrian rights-of-way, and (2) the operator or applicant is licensed or certified by the State of Arizona to operate the proposed community residence, has certification from an appropriate national accrediting agency, or has been recognized or sanctioned by Congress to operate the proposed community residence, except as required by state law. Except as provided by state law, a conditional use permit must be obtained in accord with the use standards specified in Section 2.4.17 for any community residence that does not meet both criteria (1) and (2).
Modular homes must meet the Uniform Building Code (UBC) or International Building Code (IBC) standards.
Patio homes may also be allowed on individual lots in the RO, NOB, BG and BR districts and in the RE and SF districts in accordance with the planned area development (PAD) procedures of Section 9.5.9(I).
Townhouses may also be allowed on individual lots in the RO, NOB, BG and BR districts and in the RE and SF districts in accordance with the planned area development (PAD) procedures of Section. 9.5.9(I).
