(A) Map. The zoning map published by the city pursuant to § 153.016(B) shall be the official zoning map. The various zone designations indicated on the official zoning map shall be controlling and determinative of the uses permitted on the real estate outlined upon the map according to the limitations applicable to each zoning district as set forth in these zoning regulations.
(ILCS Ch. 65, Act 5, § 11-13-19)
(B) Publication of the map. Except as otherwise provided in this division, the City Council shall cause to be published no later than March 31 of each year, a map clearly showing the existing zoning uses, divisions, restrictions, regulations and classifications of the city for the preceding calendar year. If in any calendar year after the first map is published, there are no changes in zoning uses, divisions, restrictions, regulations and classifications in the city, no map shall be published for such calendar year.
(ILCS Ch. 65, Act 5, § 11-13-19)
(C) District boundaries. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
(1) Boundaries shown as following or approximately following the city limits shall be construed as following such limits.
(2) Boundaries shown as following or approximately following streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow the center lines of such streets, highways or alleys.
(3) Boundary lines which follow or approximately follow platted lot lines or other property lines as shown on the county tax maps shall be construed as following such lines.
(4) Boundaries shown as following or approximately following section lines, half-section lines, or quarter-section lines, shall be construed as following such lines.
(5) Boundaries shown as following or approximately following railroad lines shall be construed to lie midway between the main tracks of such railroad lines.
(6) Boundaries shown as following or approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, or other continuously flowing water courses shall be construed as following the channel center line of such water courses taken at mean low water, and in the event of a natural change in the location of such streams, rivers or water courses, the zone boundary shall be construed as moving with the channel center line.
(7) Boundaries shown as separated from, and parallel or approximately parallel to, any of the features listed above shall be construed to be parallel to such feature and at such distance therefrom as is shown on the map. Distances not specifically indicated on the map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
(8) Where a district boundary line divided a lot which was in single ownership at the time of passage of these regulations, the Building and Zoning Administrator may permit the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot not to exceed 50 feet beyond the district boundary line into the remaining portion of the lot.
(9) Whenever any street, alley, or other public way is vacated, the zoning district adjoining each side of each street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of the vacated area; and all areas included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all appropriate regulations of the extended districts.
(D) Exhibit “A”. The zoning map attached to the Zoning Ordinance and marked as “Exhibit A,” which is incorporated by reference and expressly referred to herein, and the area designations indicated thereon are hereby declared to be the official zoning map of the city, and from this date forward the area designations shall be controlling and determinative of the uses permitted on the real estate outlined upon the map according to the limitations applicable to each classification under this amended zoning ordinance and the zoning ordinance adopted on April 29, 1975. No use other than those permitted by this zoning ordinance shall be allowed, caused or permitted by any person, owner, occupant or tenant on any of the premises contained within the city.
