The boundaries of the zoning districts are established as shown on the maps entitled "Official Zoning Map of Peotone, Illinois," which map is made a part hereof, and shall have the same force and effect as if the zoning map, together with all notations, references and other information shown thereon were fully set forth and described herein.
(Ord. 77-08, passed 6-28-77)
When uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:
(A) District boundary lines are either the center lines of railroads, highways, streets, alleys or easements, or the boundary lines of sections, quarter-sections, divisions of sections, tracts or lots, of such lines extended otherwise indicated.
(B) 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 the dimensions shown on the maps measured at right angles from the center lines of the street or highway, and the length of frontage shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the map from section, quarter-section or division lines, or center lines of streets, highways or railroad rights-of-way unless otherwise indicated.
(C) Where a lot held in one ownership and of record on the effective date of the ordinance is divided by a district boundary line, the entire lot shall be construed to be within the less restricted district, provided that the construction shall not apply if it increases the less restricted frontage of the lot by more than 25 feet.
(Ord. 77-08, passed 6-28-77)
All streets, alleys, public ways, waterways and railroad rights-of-way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same zone as the property immediately abutting on such streets, alleys, public ways and railroad rights-of-way or waterways. Where the center line of a street, alley, public way, waterway or railroad right-of-way serves a district boundary, the zoning of such areas, unless otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be the same as that of the abutting property up to such center line.
(Ord. 77-08, passed 6-28-77)
(A) A petition for annexation to the village may include a request from the petitioner that the land being annexed shall, upon annexation, be zoned other than for single-family residence. Should such a request be contained in the petition, the proper authorities shall refer the matter to the Plan Commission to conduct a public hearing and make their recommendation. Following the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Board of Trustees shall proceed to take a vote as they normally do in zoning matters and notify the petitioner of the result. The petitioner then may withdraw his petition for annexation or may continue with it if the decision is adverse to his request.
(B) Should no request for zoning other than single-family residence be made, the property upon annexation to the village shall automatically be classified to R-1 One Family Residence.
