Chapter 29 ZONING*
Section 29-4 District map adopted.
(a) The boundaries of the districts as enumerated in section 29-3 of this chapter
are hereby
established and adopted as shown on the map which is hereby designated as the "Zoning District
Map," and which map and all the notations, references and information shown thereon are hereby
made as much a part of this chapter as if the same were set forth in full herein. It shall be the duty
of the director of
community development
to keep on file in
the director’s
office an authentic
copy of such district map, and duplicate copies thereof, showing all the changes, amendments or
additions thereto. When definite distances in feet are not shown on the zoning district map, the
district boundaries on the zoning district map are intended to be along the existing street, alley or
plotted lines, or extension of the same, and if the exact location of such line is not clear, it shall
be determined by the director of
community development
, due consideration being given to
location as indicated by the scale of the zoning district map.
(b) When streets or alleys on the ground differ from the streets or alleys as
shown on the
zoning district map, the director of
community development
may apply the district designations
on the map to the streets or alleys on the ground in such manner as to conform to the intent and
purpose of this chapter.
(c) Whenever any street or alley is vacated, the particular district in which
the adjacent
property lies shall be automatically extended to the centerline of any such street or alley.
(d) Except as provided in subsection (f), all territory which may hereafter
be annexed to the
city shall automatically be placed in zoning district R-1 for a period of not more than six (6)
months.
(e) During the six-month period referred to in (d) herein, the commission shall
proceed to
recommend permanent zoning to the council in the manner prescribed by law, within three (3)
months, and the council shall act on the recommendations in the normal manner in the remaining
three (3) months, causing permanent zoning districts to be created and having the zoning district
map
changed to incorporate the permanent district lines.
(f) A petitioner for annexation may request that the petitioner's property in
the area proposed
to be annexed be placed in one or more specified zoning districts upon annexation. Except as
modified by this section, the procedures set forth in section 29-34(a) and (c) shall apply to such
zoning requests. When a request for zoning has been made under this subsection,
the
ordinance
annexing the area shall place the area in one or more zoning districts. If the proposed annexation
ordinance would place any property in the area to be annexed in a district other than that
requested, the petition for annexation may be withdrawn at any time before passage of the
ordinance.
