A. Authorization: The location and boundaries of the districts established by this title are indicated on the map entitled "official zoning map, village of Bartlett, Illinois", dated September 30, 2019, which, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this title. The said zoning map, together with everything shown thereon and all amendments thereto, shall be as much a part of this title as if fully set forth and described herein.
B. Location And Availability Of Map: The official zoning map shall be located and available for viewing in the village's main office and on the village's webpage. Certified copies of the zoning map are also available for sale at the village's main office. The official zoning map shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of land and buildings, subject to such authorized amendments which may be in effect.
C. Interpretation Of Boundaries: Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
1. Boundaries are the centerlines of highways, toll roads, expressways, streets or alleys unless otherwise indicated.
2. Boundaries are section lines, division of sections, tracts and platted lot lines, unless otherwise indicated.
3. In areas not subdivided into lots and blocks, wherever a district is indicated as a strip adjacent to and paralleling a street or highway, the depth of such strips shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the maps measured at right angles from the centerline of the street or highway, and the length of frontage shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the map from section, quarter section, division lines, centerlines of streets and highways, or railroad rights of way, unless otherwise indicated.
4. Boundaries indicated as approximately following village boundary limits shall be construed to follow village boundary limits.
5. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
6. 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 centerlines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
7. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections C1 through C6 of this section shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by dimensions shown on the map, or in the absence of dimensions, by the scale of the map.
8. All streets, alleys, public ways and railroad rights of way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same district as the property immediately abutting upon such alleys, streets, public ways and railroad rights of way. If the land abutting each side of the street, alley, public way or railroad right of way is located in different districts, the center of such street, alley, public way or railroad right of way shall be deemed to be the district boundary, unless otherwise specifically designated.
9. Streets or alleys which are shown on the zoning map and which have heretofore been vacated, or which may be vacated hereafter, shall be in the same district as the land abutting both sides of the street or alley involved. If the land abutting each side of the street or alley was located in different districts before the said street or alley was vacated, the centerline of such vacated street or alley shall be the district boundary line of the respective zoning districts.
10. Where physical features existing on the ground are different than those shown on the official zoning map or in other circumstances not covered by subsections C1 through C9 of this section, the zoning administrator shall interpret the district boundaries.
D. Changes: If, by amendment to this title, any change is made in any district boundary or in any other matter shown on the official zoning map, such change shall be indicated on the map as part of the yearly update. The date of the latest updating of the official zoning map shall be shown on the face of the map.
E. Entire Area Zoned: It is the intent that the entire area of the village's zoning jurisdiction, including all land and water areas, rivers, streets, alleys and railroads and other rights of way, be included in the districts established by this title. If any area is not shown on the official zoning map as being included in any district or covered by subsections C1 through C9 of this section, it shall be deemed to be in the ER-1 estate residence district.
