The boundaries of the listed zoning districts are hereby established as shown on the zoning map of this municipality. The zoning map, including all notations and other information thereon, is hereby made a part of this chapter by reference. Official copies of the zoning map shall be kept on file in the office of the Code Official or other appropriate official. In the event there is a conflict between the zoning district given for a legal description of any parcel, and the description on the map, the zoning district given to the legal description shall apply.
(A) (1) Annual publication. In accordance with state law, the Code Official shall publish the city’s zoning map not later than March 31st of each year. However, no map shall be published for any calendar year during which there have been no changes in zoning districts or regulations.
(2) Annexation requirements. All territory annexed into the City of Troy will be classified as the most restrictive use (R-1). When new territory is being annexed into the City of Troy and such territory needs its current zoning district changed, the City must follow procedures described in § 154.143.
(B) Determining territory of districts with precision. In determining with precision what territory is actually included within any zoning district, the Code Official shall apply the following rules:
(1) Where a district boundary as indicated on the zoning map approximately follows the features listed below on the left, the corresponding feature on the right shall be deemed the district boundary:
Center line of any street, alley or highway | Such centerline |
Lot line | Such lot line |
Railroad tracks | Center right-of-way line of such track |
Streams | Center of such stream |
Section, fraction or survey line | Such line |
(2) Whenever any street, alley or other public way is legally vacated, the zoning districts adjoining each side of such vacated public way shall automatically extend to the center of such way, and all territory included in the vacated way shall thereafter be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
