§ 1400-21. Interpretation of District Boundaries.  


Latest version.
  • Where uncertainty exists regarding the boundary of a zoning district, the following rules apply:

    (a)

    Property Lines. District boundaries shown as approximately following the property line of a lot are construed to follow such property line.

    (b)

    Scale. On unsubdivided land or where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of the district boundary is determined by using the scale appearing on the zoning map, unless the boundary location is indicated by dimensions printed on the map.

    (c)

    Boundary Lines. District boundaries shown as approximately following right-of-way lines of freeways, streets, railroads, streams, corporations or other identifiable boundary lines are construed to follow such right-of-way or boundary lines.

    (d)

    Centerlines. District boundaries shown as lying within right-of-way lines of freeways, streets, railroads, streams, corporations or other identifiable boundary lines are construed to follow the centerline of such right-of-way or boundary lines.

    (e)

    Uncertainty. If any uncertainty remains as to the location of a district boundary or other feature shown on the zoning map, the Director of City Planning has the duty to determine the location.

    The Director of City Planning has the duty to keep a record of interpretations made pursuant to this section and keep them available to the public.
