02.020 Rules for Interpretation of Zoning District Boundaries

In the event of a dispute pertaining to the boundary or location of a zoning district, the Hearing Examiner shall have the authority and jurisdiction to render a written determination of the applicable boundary for a zoning district. The Hearing Examiner shall take into consideration the following criteria in rendering such determination: A. The policies and development standards pertaining to such zoning district shall be given substantial weight. B. Where a zoning district boundary is shown following a road, right-of-way line, interstate highway, parkway, public utility right-of-way, railroad line, stream or watercourse, or a line located midway between the main track of a railroad, the zoning district boundary shall be deemed to be changed automatically whenever such center line is changed by natural or artificial means. C. Where a zoning district boundary is shown as following a municipal boundary line, a property line, a plot line or a projection of any one of the same, such boundary shall be such landmarked or monumented line or projection thereof. If such boundary is shown as separated from but approximately parallel to any such landmarked or monumented line or projection thereof, such boundary shall be deemed to be parallel to any landmarked or monumented line or projection thereof, as the case may be, at such distance therefrom as shown on the Lehi City Zoning District Map. D. In areas not subdivided into lots and blocks, wherever a zoning district is indicated as a strip adjacent to and paralleling a road or railroad right-ofway, the depth of such strips shall be in accordance with dimensions measured at right angles from the center line of the road or railroad right-of-way, and the length of frontage shall be in accordance with dimensions measured from section, quarter section, or division lines, or center lines of roads or railroad rights-of-way, unless otherwise indicated. E. Where a road, railroad or other physical monument or marker on the ground, by which a boundary is determined, varies from that as shown on the Lehi City Zoning District Map, the on-theground physical monument or marker shall control.
