A. The locations and boundaries of the zoning districts are established as they are shown on the map entitled “The Zoning map of the Town of Chino Valley” which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Ordinance.
B. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any zoning districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
1. Where district boundaries are shown as approximately following streets, alleys, or right-of-way lines, such streets, alleys, or right-of-way lines shall be deemed to be such boundaries.
2. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be deemed to be the boundaries.
3. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the streets, alleys, or right-of-way lines, such district’s boundaries shall be deemed as being parallel hereto and at such distance there from as indicated on the zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimensions shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the zoning map.
4. Where the application of the above rules does not clarify the zone boundary location, then the Board of Adjustment shall determine the location.
C. Within newly annexed areas, the Town shall initially adopt zoning classifications that permit densities and uses no greater than those permitted by Yavapai County immediately before annexation. Areas, when annexed to the Town, shall, until officially zoned by Council, be considered to be zoned to Town classification closest to that shown on the official zoning map of Yavapai County at the time of annexation. Such County Zoning shall apply for not more than six (6) months. Subsequent changes in zoning of the annexed territory shall be made according to procedures established by this Ordinance.
After annexation, and before expiration of six months from the date of annexation, the Town shall adopt zoning classifications, which permit densities and uses no greater than those permitted by the County immediately before annexation. Subsequent changes in zoning of the annexed territory shall be made according to existing procedures established by the Town for the rezoning of the land.
