and social advantages which result from a comprehensive and
orderly planned use of land resources.
9021 Application.

shall apply to all properties located within the city boundaries
and to those areas the city chooses to designate outside of the
incorporated city limits, but within the city' s adopted sphere of
influence.

various zoning districts shall be delineated on the zoning maps,
including an index map and sectional district maps of the City.

ordinance.

districts shall be made by ordinance adopting or amending the
District Maps. It is the intent, wherever feasible, to place
zoning boundaries on or following property lines and/or streets.
Where uncertainty exists as to the specific district boundary the
following rules shall apply:
1
( 1) Where such boundaries are indicated as
approximately following street or lot lines, such
lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
(2) Where a district boundary divides a lot, the
location of such boundary, unless indicated by
dimensions, shall be determined by the scale
appearing on the map.
( 3) Where a public street or alley is officially
vacated or abandoned, the area shall acquire the
classification of the property to which it reverts .

boundary line, the City Council shall interpret
and determine the boundary upon written request..

the district symbol which is in parenthesis shall
designate the maximum number of units per gross
acre for the site.
( e) Annexations/Pre-Zoning. Unincorporated territory
adjacent to the City may be prezoned for the purpose of
determining the zone district which will apply in the event of
annexation to the City. The procedure for prezoning property
shall be the same as that for zone changes within the City. Such
zoning shall become effective at the time the annexation becomes
effective. Any property which, after annexation or for any other
reason, does not have a designation on the zoning map shall be
