18-1.040 Interpretation.
a. Ambiguity. The Director shall interpret these regulations, subject to the appeal procedures of Article 18-36. Written requests for interpretation shall be responded to in writing within twenty (20) days and shall become part of the permanent files of the Community Development Department.
b. Zoning District Boundaries.
1. Boundaries between zoning districts generally follow lot lines or their extensions, physical features or contour lines, as noted on the official Zoning Map. Boundaries adjoining streets shall be assumed to follow the centerlines of streets if such location becomes an issue in the use of private property, such as when a street is abandoned. Zones which meet a street centerline shall not be considered “adjacent.”
2. The location of boundaries which are not readily determined by inspection of the official Clearlake General Plan Zoning Map shall be determined by the Director.
c. Conflict with Public Provisions. These regulations are not intended to interfere with or annul any other law or regulation. Where these regulations impose a restriction different from any other law or regulation, the more restrictive shall apply.
d. Conflict with Private Provisions. These regulations are not intended to interfere with or annul any easement, covenant or other agreement between private parties. Where these regulations impose a restriction different from a private agreement, the provisions which are more restrictive or which impose higher standards shall control. (Ord. #248-2020, S2 (Exh. A))
