When any uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the districts listed in § 1260.02, as shown on the Zoning Districts Map, the following rules shall apply:
(a) Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following the centerline or right-of-way line of a street, the centerline or alley line of an alley or the centerline or right-of-way line of a highway, such a line shall be construed to be such district boundary.
(b) Where a district boundary is so indicated that it is approximately parallel to the centerline or right-of-way line of a street, the centerline or right-of-way line of an alley or the centerline or right-of-way line of a highway, such district boundary shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such a distance therefrom as is indicated on the Zoning Districts Map. If no distance is given, such dimensions shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on such Map.
(c) Where a district boundary is indicated as approximately following a lot line, such lot line shall be construed to be such boundary.
(d) (1) Where a district boundary is so indicated that it does not follow or parallel street, alley, highway or lot lines, but connects points established by the intersection of such lines, such straight lines connecting such points shall be construed to be such district boundaries.
(2) Where a district boundary is so indicated that it follows a topographical feature, such line shall be construed as following the centerline of such feature. The location of such topographical feature shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Zoning Districts Map.
(e) Whenever any street, alley or public way is vacated in the manner authorized by law, the zoning districts adjoining each side of the street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacations, and all areas included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all the regulations of the extended districts.
(Ord. 74-O-128, passed 10-17-1974)
(a) No building shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed or structurally altered, nor shall any building or land be used, arranged to be used or designed to be used, in a manner which does not comply with all of the district provisions established by this Zoning Code for the district in which the building or land is located. Uses which are omitted from this Zoning Code which are not specifically permitted shall be considered prohibited until deemed otherwise by the Planning Commission or until, by amendment, such uses are written into this Zoning Code. A determination of whether or not a use is specifically permitted, by virtue of being similar in character to a specifically permitted use in the district, shall be made by the Commission, based on the purpose of the district regulations and this Zoning Code. No land shall be occupied or used and no building hereafter erected, altered or extended shall be used or changed in use until a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Building Department stating that the building or proposed use thereof complies with this Zoning Code.
(b) No liquid waste injection disposal wells and support structures are permitted or conditionally permitted uses within the City.
(Ord. 74-O-128, passed 10-17-1974; Ord. 12-O-2704, passed 10-16-2012)
(a) Except as specifically stated in other parts of this Zoning Code, no building shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed or structurally altered to exceed the height limit established for the district in which the building is located, except that penthouse or roof structures for the housing of elevators, stairways, tanks, ventilating fans or similar equipment required to operate and maintain a building, and fire or parapet walls, skylights, towers, steeples, stage lofts and screens, flagpoles, chimneys, smokestacks, wireless masts, water tanks or similar structures may be erected above the height limit. No such structure may be erected to exceed by more than 15 feet the height limit of the district in which it is located, or have a total area greater than 25% of the roof area of the building, or be used for any purpose other than a use incidental to the main use of the building. Radio, television and wireless aerials or masts may be erected to any height.
(b) Public or semipublic buildings, when permitted in a district, may be erected to a height not to exceed 45 feet, except that churches and temples may be erected to a height not to exceed 75 feet, if the building is set back from each yard line at least one foot for each foot of additional building height above the height limit otherwise provided in the district in which the building is located.
(Ord. 74-O-128, passed 10-17-1974)
In any R District where the average depth of at least two existing front yards on lots within 200 feet of the lot in question and within the same block front is less than the least front yard depth prescribed elsewhere in this Zoning Code, the required depth of the front yard on such lot may be modified. In such cases, such depth shall not be less than the average depth of the existing front yards on the two lots immediately adjoining or, in the case of a corner lot, the depth of the front yard on the lot immediately adjoining, provided, however, that the depth of the front yard on any lot shall not be less than 20 feet.
