The city of Livermore hereby establishes zoning districts and subzoning districts providing for the categorization and regulation of land use within each zoning district, beginning with and following Chapter 2-07 LPZC. The terms “zoning,” “zone,” and “district” are interchangeable. (Ord. 442 § 2.10)

2-01-020 Zoning districts designated.

The city of Livermore is hereby divided into zoning districts and subzoning districts as set forth in Chapter 2-04, which consists of zoning district map or maps. (Ord. 442 § 2.20)

2-01-030 Determination of boundaries.

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any of the districts shown on the zoning district map or maps, the planning commission, upon written application or upon its own motion, shall determine the location of such boundaries on said zoning district map or maps. All dedicated public streets within the city shall be zoned. (Ord. 442 § 2.30)

2-01-040 Zoning – Annexation.

All territory hereafter annexed to the city of Livermore shall be zoned OS-A (agricultural) district, unless, prior to the annexation, such lands were prezoned by the city. (Ord. 1002, 1979; Ord. 442 § 2.40)

2-01-050 Change of zoning designation.

A change of zoning district designation for any area shall be made only where such change is in accord with the general plan of the city of Livermore. In the event a proposed change of any zoning district is not in accord with the general plan of the city, a proposal for an amendment to the general plan shall be considered two weeks prior to the proposed zoning district amendment.

Proposals for zoning district changes may be considered concurrently with a related proposed general plan amendment with a two-thirds vote of the city council prior to the hearing date. In order to ensure consistency between the general plan and the zoning ordinance, approval of any such zoning district change is still contingent upon approval of the associated general plan policy change and map amendment. (Ord. 1591 § 1, 2000; Ord. 1002, 1979; Ord. 442 § 2.50)

2-01-060 Official zoning district map.

The official copy of the zoning code of the city of Livermore, together with the zoning district map or maps, shall remain on file in the office of the city clerk. (Ord. 442 § 2.60)
