313-4. ZONING MAPS OF THE COUNTY OF HUMBOLDT, STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
This section consists of zoning maps and written legal descriptions of property within the County of Humboldt. These maps and descriptions are not codified.
313-5. DETERMINING UNCERTAIN BOUNDARIES.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various zones, the following rules shall apply:
(a) Streets or Alleys. Where indicated zoning boundaries are approximately street or alley lines, the center lines of such street or alley shall be construed to be the boundaries of such zone.
(b) Lot Lines. Where the zoning boundaries are not shown to be streets or alleys, and where property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the zoning boundaries shall be construed to be lot lines; and where the indicated boundaries are approximately lot lines, said lot lines shall be construed to be the boundaries of said zone, unless said boundaries are otherwise indicated.
(c) Scale on Map; Determination
by Commission. Where the property is indicated on a zoning map or maps
as acreage and not subdivided into lots and blocks, or where the zone boundary
lines are not approximately street, alley or lot lines, the zone boundary
lines on said zoning map or maps shall be determined by scale contained
on such map or maps, and where uncertainty exists, the zone boundary line
shall be determined by the Planning Commission. In the event property shown
as acreage on the zoning map or maps has been or is subsequently subdivided
into lots or lot and block arrangement does not conform to that anticipated
when the zone boundaries were established or property is resubdivided by
a duly recorded subdivision map or record of survey into a different arrangement
of lots and blocks than shown on the zone map, the Planning Commission,
after notice to the owners of the property affected thereby, may interpret
the zone maps and make minor readjustments in the zone boundaries in such
a way as to carry out the intent and purpose of these regulations and conform
to the street, block and lot layout on the ground. Such interpretation
shall be by written decision, and thereafter the copies of the zoning maps
in the planning Planning Commission shall be changed
to conform thereto.
(d) Vacated Street or Alley. In the event a dedicated street or alley shown on the zoning map or maps is vacated by resolution or amendment of any section of this Code, the property formerly in said street or alley shall be included within the zone boundary between two (2) or more different zones, the new zone boundary shall be the former center line of the vacated street or alley. (Ord. 519, Sec. 305, 5/11/65)
313-6. CLASSIFICATION OF UNINCORPORATED TERRITORY.
All unincorporated territory of the County of Humboldt shall be classified as specified by written description or on the zoning maps adopted as a part of this division, except that all such territory not so classified shall be classified as a U Zone and shall be subject to all of the regulations of that zone. Said territory shall retain such zoning classification unless said territory shall be otherwise zoned in the manner prescribed by law. (Ord. 519, Sec. 306, 5/11/65)
313-7. LIMITATIONS ON LAND USE AND STRUCTURE.
Except as otherwise provided herein:
(a) Use Requirements. No building or part thereof or other structure shall be erected, altered, added to or enlarged, nor shall any land, building, structure or premises be used, designated or intended to be used for any purpose or in any manner other than is included among the uses hereinafter listed as permitted in the zone in which such buildings, land or premises is located.
(d) Duplicate Use of Open
Space and Yards. No yard or other spaces provided about any buildings
for the purpose of complying with provisions of this division shall be
considered as providing a yard or open space for any other building, and
no yard or other open space on one building site shall be considered as
providing a yard of or open space for a building
on any other building site unless specifically permitted elsewhere in this
Code. (Ord. 519, Sec. 307, 5/11/65)
