18A.10.160 Boundaries – Administrative determination.
When uncertainty exists as to boundaries of any land use zoning classification on the zoning map, the Director following the administrative procedures of a Process Type I application as contained in LMC 18A.20.310 shall make a determination as to the location of the boundary in question based on the following rules of construction:
A. Where zone boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerline of street, alley or highway right-of-way, the actual centerline shall be the boundary.
B. Where zone boundaries are indicated as running approximately parallel to the centerline of the street right-of-way, the boundary line shall be construed to be parallel to the centerline of the street right-of-way.
C. Where zone boundaries are indicated as approximately following the lot or tract lines, the actual lot or tract lines shall be construed to be the boundaries of such zone.
D. Where a zone boundary divides a tract in unsubdivided property, the location of such zone boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions thereon, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the zoning map.
E. Zone boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be interpreted to follow such shorelines, and in the event of change in the shoreline, shall be interpreted as moving with the actual shoreline.
F. Where a public street or alley right-of-way is officially vacated or abandoned, the regulations applicable to the abutting property to which the vacated portion shall revert shall apply to such vacated or abandoned street or alley right-of-way.
G. Where the zone boundaries shown on the zoning map are inconsistent with the written legal descriptions of the zoning boundary as described in the implementing ordinance, the written legal description of the zoning boundary shall prevail. [Ord. 726 § 2 (Exh. B), 2019.]
