Chapter 163, changes may be made in district boundaries or other matter portrayed on the official zoning map by action of the City Commission. The official zoning map shall be maintained in the records of both the Office of the City Clerk and the Department of Development, and made available for viewing by the general public.
2. Interpretation.
a. Extent. The zoning within any district extends throughout the entire area of the district unless otherwise specifically provided.
b. Locations. District boundaries follow lot lines, centerlines of rights-of-way of streets, alleys, railroads, canals, lakes, the corporate limits as they exist at the time of this document, or other geographical or topographical features.
In unsubdivided property, unless dimensioned, lines shall be determined by the use of the scale on the map.
c. Waterways. District boundaries will follow changes in shorelines, except where such interpretation would change the zoning classification of a lot or parcel, and in each case, the interpretation shall avoid changing the zoning of any lot or parcel. Submerged lands shall assume the regulations of the abutting district as the district shall be construed to extend into the water area in a straight projection until met centerwise by other districts.
d. Abandonments. If the boundaries are not changed, the zoning of the property abutting shall extend into and to the centerline or to such ownership line as can be determined of the property abandoned.
e. Annexation. Boundaries and zoning of all lands annexed into the city shall be determined at the time of annexation.
f. Variations in Zoning District Boundaries. Where the actual location on the ground differs from the mapped location, the interpretation shall be to avoid changing the zoning of any lot or parcel. Necessary interpretation shall be made by the Director of Planning and Zoning as to the intent and purpose of these official zoning regulations.
