§ 1.8. ZONING MAP  


Latest version.
  • 1.8.1.   Adoption

    The boundaries of the zoning districts established by this Code are shown on a map or series of maps designated the "Zoning Map". The zoning map and all notations, references, data and other information shown on the map is hereby adopted and made a part of this Code as fully as if it were included in the pages of this Code. The zoning map and zoning resolution are maintained in the PCD. In case of any dispute regarding the zoning classification of property subject to this Code, the zoning resolutions will govern. The PCD Director is responsible for producing all updates of the zoning map.

    1.8.2.   Zoning District Boundaries

    Unless otherwise indicated on the zoning map or otherwise clearly stipulated in the zoning resolution, zoning district boundaries follow: lot lines; the center lines of roads or alleys or the specified distance from such features; railroad right-of-way lines; property lines; the boundaries of El Paso County; or the corporate limit line of incorporated cities and towns.

    1.8.3.   Interpretation of Zoning District Boundaries

    Where uncertainty exists about the boundaries of the zoning districts or when the road or property existing on the ground is different with that shown on the zoning map and zoning resolution, the PCD Director is authorized to determine the location of the boundaries.

    1.8.4.   Drafting Errors and Changes to the Zoning Map

    The PCD Director is authorized to change the zoning map when the public record clearly indicates the zoning map does not accurately depict zoning district and overlay zoning district boundaries or zoning designations and subsequent amendments to those boundaries or zoning designations approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BoCC).
