All lands located within the incorporated limits of the City of Eloy are hereby zoned and organized into a coordinated set of Residential and Non-Residential Zoning Districts and Overlay Districts. These districts are established to implement the goals, objectives and policies of the Eloy General Plan and to conserve and promote the public health, safety and general welfare. Residential Zoning Districts are primarily intended to create, maintain and promote a variety of neighborhoods that allow a range of compatible densities to accommodate the desired physical character of the City. Nonresidential Districts uses are also allowed to improve the overall quality of life by providing a convenience of services and goods for Eloy residents and provide public facilities necessary to create a healthy and safe environment in which to live.

21-2-1.2: ZONING MAP ESTABLISHED:

   A.   The location and boundaries of the zoning districts established by this chapter shall be designated upon the official "Zoning Map of the City of Eloy". The Zoning Map, together with all data shown on the map and all amendments hereafter adopted, is by reference made a part of this chapter.

   B.   The Official Zoning Map of the City of Eloy, dated and signed by the Mayor and City Clerk, is hereby adopted and shall be located in the Office of the City Zoning Administrator with a copy retained on file with the City Clerk. All future changes adopted by the Eloy City Council to the Official Zoning Map of the City of Eloy shall be clearly documented by the City Zoning Administrator on the Official Zoning Map adopted on the date and year set forth herein.

      1.   Any changes to the Official Zoning Map shall be considered an amendment to the Official Zoning Map and filed in accordance with section 21-6-6 of this chapter.

      2.   The Official Zoning Map may, from time to time, be republished to delineate any change of zoning approved pursuant to section 21-6-6 of this chapter or any other amendments thereto. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)

21-2-1.3: BOUNDARY DETERMINATION:

   A.   Where uncertainty exists concerning the boundaries of any zoning district shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:

      1.   Where zoning district boundaries are indicated as approximately following street or alley center lines, such center lines shall be construed to be the district boundary.

      2.   Where zoning district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow property lines, such property lines shall be construed to be the district boundary.

      3.   Where zoning district boundaries divide a lot or parcel, the zoning boundary shall be determined by using the scale of the Official Zoning Map, unless indicated by legal description with distance and bearing or other dimension. Such zoning district boundary shall be considered a "lot line" as defined herein. If the area created by such lot line does not comply with the designated district lot area and lot width requirements, zoning for the entire parcel shall be that which is applied to the largest portion of the property.

      4.   Where a public street or alley, railroad, or utility right-of- way is officially vacated or abandoned, the property that was formerly in the right-of-way will be included within the zoning district of the adjoining property on either side of the centerline of the vacated or abandoned right-of-way or easement.

      5.   Where a zoning district boundary divides a lot or parcel, the location of such boundary, unless indicated by legal description with distance and bearing or other dimension, shall be determined by scaling the Official Zoning Map by the City Zoning Administrator.

      6.   Where a lack of clarity or disagreement concerning the exact location of a zoning district line exists, determination shall lie with the interpretation of the City Zoning Administrator as defined under section 21-5-5 of this chapter. The determination of the Zoning Administrator may be appealed in accordance with the provisions of section 21-6-2.11, "Appeals", of this chapter. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)

21-2-2: RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS:

21-2-2.1: GENERAL PURPOSE:

Residential Zoning Districts are primarily intended to create, maintain and promote a variety of neighborhoods that allow for a range of compatible densities to accommodate the desired physical character of the City. These districts primarily accommodate residential uses; however, some nonresidential uses are also allowed to provide other uses necessary to support a healthy, sustainable and safe environment. These uses also include associated, limited nonresidential uses that are required by law such as religious, educational and recreational facilities. The Residential Districts are described in section 21-2-2.2 of this section 21-2-2. (Ord. 18-880, 7-23-2018)
