§ 88-20-04. INTERPRETATIONS OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES

Where any uncertainty exists about a zoning boundary, the actual location of the boundary will be determined by the city planning and development director using the following rules of interpretation:

88-20-04-A. A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately following a river, stream, lake, or other watercourse will be construed as following the actual centerline of the watercourse. If, subsequent to the establishment of the boundary, the centerline of the watercourse should move as a result of natural processes (flooding, erosion, sedimentation, etc.), the boundary will be construed as moving with the centerline of the watercourse.

88-20-04-B. A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately following a ridge line or topographic contour line will be construed as following the actual ridge line or contour line. If, subsequent to the establishment of the boundary, the ridge line or contour line should move as a result of natural processes (erosion, slippage, subsidence, etc.), the boundary will be construed as moving with the ridge line or contour line.

88-20-04-C. A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately following a lot line or parcel boundary will be construed as following the lot line or parcel boundary as it actually existed at the time the zoning boundary was established.

88-20-04-D. A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately following a street or railroad line will be construed as following the centerline of the street or railroad right-of-way.

88-20-04-E. A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately following the boundary of an adjacent municipality will be construed as following that boundary.

88-20-04-F. A boundary shown on the zoning map as approximately parallel to, or as an apparent extension of, a feature described above will be construed as being actually parallel to, or an extension of, the feature.
