Chapter 22 ZONING*
Section 22-83 Interpretation of district boundaries, zoning map and references.
(a) All recording references to deeds, maps, plats or other such data in this chapter unless otherwise indicated may be found in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of Thomas County.
(b) Reference once made to a plat of a subdivision shall extend to any other reference to the subdivision by name without the place of record of the plat again being made.
(c) Where the boundary of a railroad right-of-way is the boundary of a district or zone or districts or zones and the total width of the right-of-way is not included by the word description in any district or zone, the total width of the right-of-way is included in the lower classification district or zone.
(d) Where a conflict exists between the map description and the word description of a zone or district, the word description shall control.
(e) The word description of zones or districts shall be used in interpreting the map descriptions.
(f) If any land area lying within the limits of the city (exclusive of railroad right-of-way) has been omitted from zoning classification in this chapter, the omission is unintentional. If by reference to the word descriptions and the map descriptions it cannot be determined whether any particular land area within the limits of the city has been zoned or classified such particular land area shall be construed to be included and zoned as a separate parcel or parcels in the A zone.
(g) If a district boundary line on the zoning map divides a lot of record held in one (1) ownership on the date of passage of the ordinance from which this section derives, each part of the lot so divided shall be used in conformity with the regulations established by this chapter for the district in which each such parcel is located; except, however, that if the property owner of such a lot, other than a through lot, so desires, he may extend a use allowed on the greater portion of such lot fifty (50) feet beyond the district into which he is encroaching.
(h) Where any public street or alley is vacated officially hereafter or abandoned, the zone classification and regulations of the larger portion shall apply to the remaining smaller portion of the lot.
(i) Where a street is in existence at the time of the effective date of the ordinance from which this section derives, and such existing street has less width than sixty (60) feet, it shall nevertheless be defined as a street.
(Code 1958, 24-7.15)
