“The Official Zoning Map of the Haines Borough, Alaska,” was adopted by the borough assembly on April 21, 2004, and revised by ordinance pursuant to HBC 18.70.060 on June 28, 2005, April 18, 2006, April 22, 2008, July 22, 2008, August 12, 2008, September 11, 2018, and July 26, 2022. A copy of the most current official map shall be retained in the office of the manager for public inspection.

A. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of zoning districts or zones as shown on the zoning map, the manager shall apply the following rules to interpret such boundaries:

1. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of easements, streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such center lines;

2. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines;

3. Boundaries indicated as approximately following borough limits shall be construed as following such borough limits;

4. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines, and in the event of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline; boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, lakes, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines;

5. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections (A)(1) through (4) of this section shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map;

B. Where a zoning district or zone boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of passage of this chapter, the manager may permit the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot not to exceed 500 feet beyond the zoning district or zone line into the remaining portion of the lot.
