Interpreting the Zoning Map

1.	Section 1.20, the Zoning Map, divides the city into Zones and specifies the Zones that apply to particular lands.
Zoning and Overlay Boundaries
2.	If there is uncertainty or dispute about the precise location of any Zone or Overlay boundary as depicted on the Zoning Map, the location is determined by applying the following rules:
	2.1. Where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following the centre of Streets, Alleys, or other public thoroughfares, it is deemed to follow their centre lines. 2.2. Where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following the boundary of a Site, the Site boundary is deemed to be the boundary of the Zone or Overlay. 2.3. Where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following city limits, it is deemed to be following city limits. 2.4. Where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following the centre of pipelines, railway lines, or utility easements, it is deemed to follow the centre line of these right-of-ways. 2.5. Where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following the edge or shore lines of the North Saskatchewan River, or other bodies of water, it is deemed to follow those lines and is deemed to change based on any movement of those edges or shorelines. 2.6. Where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as being parallel to or as an extension of features noted above, it will be interpreted as such. 2.7. Where a Zone or Overlay boundary is shown as approximately following a topographic contour line or a top of bank line, it is deemed to follow that line. The boundary is deemed to change based on any movement of that line. 2.8. Where features on the ground are different from those shown on the Zoning Map, the map appended to an Overlay, or in other circumstances not mentioned above, the Development Planner must interpret the Zone or Overlay boundaries. This decision will result in a Discretionary Development. 2.9. Where a Zone or Overlay boundary does not conform to Subsections 2.1 to 2.7, and results in dividing or splitting a registered parcel of land, the boundary is determined by dimensions indicated on the Zoning Map, the map appended to an Overlay, or by measurements directly scaled from that map.
Street and Highway Boundaries
3.	Despite the regulations in this Bylaw, no Zone is deemed to apply to any public roadway and any public roadway may be designed, constructed, widened, altered, redesigned and maintained in a manner determined by the City.
4.	Where any public roadway is closed according to the Municipal Government Act, that land is deemed to be the same Zone as the Abutting land, including if the Abutting land is designated as a Direct Control Zone.
	4.1. Where the Abutting lands are governed by different Zones, the centre line of the public roadway is deemed to be the Zone boundary 4.2. When Subsection 4 results in the boundaries of a Direct Control Zone being extended to include a closed portion of a public roadway, the Area of Application as set out in the Direct Control Zone regulations must be automatically amended by the Development Planner to include the closed portion of the public roadway.
