There shall be two (2) zoning maps established for the village, i.e., the zoning map and the overlay district map. The locations and boundaries of the districts established herein are shown upon the zoning map which is hereby incorporated in this title. The zoning map, together with all notations, references and other information shown thereon and all amendments thereto, shall be a part of this title 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.
The locations, boundaries, and widths of overlay districts established above are shown on the overlay district map which is hereby incorporated into this title. The overlay district map, together with all notations, references and other information shown thereon and all amendments thereto shall be a part of this title and shall have the same force and effect as if the overlay district map, together with all notations, references and other information shown thereon were fully set forth and described herein.
A. Boundary Lines: Whenever any uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any district as shown on the zoning maps incorporated herein, the following rules shall apply:
1. Where the district boundary is indicated as following or approximately following the municipal boundary it shall be considered as following that boundary.
2. Where district boundary lines are indicated as following streets, alleys or similar rights of way, they shall be construed as following the center lines thereof except that where such street lies along the Municipal boundary, the district boundary shall be construed as following the Municipal boundary.
3. Where district boundary lines are indicated as following or as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
4. Boundaries shown as following or approximately following the center lines of streets, rivers or other flowing water courses shall be construed as following the channel center line of such courses taken at mean low water, and in the event of a natural change in the location of such streams, rivers or other water courses the zone boundary shall be construed as moving with the channel center line.
5. Where a lot (as distinguished from acreage) held in one ownership and of record at the effective date of this Title is divided by a district boundary line, the lot shall be construed as being in the district containing the larger portion of the lot. If the Zoning Administrator cannot determine a "larger" portion then the lot shall be construed as being in the more restrictive district.
6. In unsubdivided property, unless otherwise indicated, the district boundary line on the map accompanying and made a part of these regulations shall be determined by the use of the scale contained on such maps.
B. Zoning Of Streets And Other Rights Of Way: All streets, alleys, public ways and railroad rights of way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same zone as the property immediately abutting upon such alleys, streets, public ways and railroad rights of way. Where the center line of a street, alley, public way or railroad right of way serves as 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 which are shown to be within scenic corridors shall be the center lines of such Scenic Corridor Overlay Districts.
C. Inspection Of Official Copy: An official copy of the zoning map shall be maintained in the Village Hall. The official copy shall have posted thereon all changes in the map authorized by action of the Board of Trustees within one week of the effective date of such action. Such map shall be available for inspection during normal business hours at the Village Hall.
D. Changes: If by amendment to the this Title, any zone boundary as shown on the Official Zoning Map or any other matter shown thereon, is changed by the action of the Village Board, such change shall be promptly indicated on the Official Zoning Map by the Village, together with the date of passage of the amendment and sufficient written description to give a precise understanding of the change. Every change shall be certified by the Clerk.
E. Publication: Once each year the zoning map, together with all changes which have occurred since the effective date of the last publication. shall be published as provided by the statute. (Ord. 91-341, 4-2-1991)
