DISTRICT AND BOUNDARIES TH KEOF
Section 5.01 The locations and boundaries of the zoning districts shall
be as shown on the map accompanying this Ordinance and made a part of,
entitled, "Official Zoning Map, Port Townsend, Washington." The Official
Zoning Map and all the notations, references, and amendments thereto and
other information shown thereon are hereby made a part of this Ordinance,
just as if such information set forth on the map were fully described
and set out herein. The Official Zoning Map, attested by the signature
of the Mayor and the City Clerk, with the seal of the municipality

lot more than 35 feet beyond the district boundary line;
C. Where any street, road, or alley is hereafter officially vacated
or abandoned, the regulations applicable to each parcel of
