Land Use Code Town of Norwood, Colorado - San Miguel County

Chapter 7: Land Use Code
(c) Map replacement. In the event that the official zoning map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost
or difficult to interpret because of the nature or number of changes and additions, the Board of Trustees
may adopt a new official zoning map that shall supersede the prior map. The new official zoning map
may correct drafting and clerical errors or omissions in the prior official zoning map, but no such
corrections shall have the effect of amending this chapter or any subsequent amendment thereto without
a duly noticed public hearing as provided herein. Unless the prior official zoning map has been lost or
totally destroyed, the prior map or any significant parts thereof remaining shall be preserved, together
with all available records pertaining to its adoption or amendment.
(d) Interpretation of district boundaries. The district boundary lines shown on the Official
Zoning Map are usually along streets, alleys, property lines or extensions thereof. Where uncertainty
exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning maps, the
following rules shall apply.
(1) Boundaries indicated as approximately following streets, highways or alleys shall be
construed to follow the centerline of such street, highway or alley.
(2) Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as
following such lines.
(3) Boundaries indicated as approximately following town limits shall be construed as
following town limits.
(4) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerline of irrigation ditches or
drainage ways shall be construed to follow such centerline.
(5) Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in this subsection
shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the original Zoning Map shall be
determined from the graphic scale on the Map.
(6) Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of the Board
of Trustees the zoning district line adjoining each side of such street, alley or other public way
shall be automatically extended to the centerline of such vacated street, alley or way, and all area
so involved shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
(7) Where physical features of the ground are at variance with information shown on the
Official Zoning Map, or when there arises a question as to how or whether a parcel of property is
zoned and such question cannot be resolved by the application of subsections 3.03(d)(1) through
(7), the property shall be considered as classified A, Agricultural District, temporarily, and
subject to Sec. 3.04.
