§ 153.055 GENERAL PROVISIONS.

   (A)   Districts established. For the purposes of this chapter, the village is hereby divided into the following districts:

      (1)   R-1A One-Family Low Density Residential;

      (2)   R-1B Medium Density Residential;

      (3)   R-M1 Multiple-Family Residential;

      (4)   B-1 Local Business;

      (5)   B-2 General Business;

      (6)   VC Village Core Mixed Use; and

      (7)   M-1 Industrial.

   (B)   Official Zoning Map. The boundaries of these districts are hereby defined and established as shown on a map entitled "Zoning District Map of the Village of Webberville, Ingham County, Michigan, as amended November, 2014," which accompanies the ordinance codified in this chapter, and which map, with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby made a part of this chapter. The Official Zoning Map shall be identified by the signature of the Village President, attested by the Village Clerk, and bearing the following words: "This is to certify that this is the Official Zoning Map referred to in Article 4, § 153.055(B) of the Village of Webberville Zoning Ordinance adopted on December 9, 2014." If, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, changes are made in district boundaries or other matter portrayed on the Official Zoning Map, the changes shall not be considered final, and zoning permits shall not be issued, until changes have been made within seven normal working days after the effective date of the ordinance amendment. Each map change shall be accompanied by a reference number on the map which shall refer to the official action of the Village Council. Two copies of the Official Zoning Map are to be maintained and kept up-to-date, one in the Village Clerk's or Village Treasurer's office, and one in the Zoning Administrator's office.

   (C)   Interpretation of district boundaries. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the districts indicated on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply.

      (1)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the streets or highways, the center lines of the streets or highways shall be construed to be the boundaries.

      (2)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot lines shall be construed as following the lot lines.

      (3)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following village boundary lines shall be construed as following the village boundary lines.

      (4)   Boundaries indicated as approximately following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

      (5)   Boundaries indicated as approximately parallel to the center lines of streets or highways shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at the distance therefrom as indicated on the Official Zoning Map. If no distance is given, the dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the Official Zoning Map.

      (6)   Boundaries following the shoreline of a stream, lake, or other body of water shall be construed to follow the shorelines, and in the event of change in the shorelines shall be construed as moving with the actual shorelines, boundaries indicated as approximately following the thread of streams, canals, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow the threads.

      (7)   Where the application of the aforesaid rules leaves a reasonable doubt as to the boundaries between two districts, the regulations of the more restrictive district shall govern the entire parcel in question, unless otherwise determined by the Village Board of Appeals after recommendation from the Village Planning Commission.

   (D)   Scope of regulations. No building or structure, or part thereof, shall hereafter be erected, moved, constructed, or altered, and no new use or change in use shall be made, unless in conformity with the provisions of this chapter and with the regulations specified for the district in which it is located.

      (1)   The regulations applying to each district include specific limitations on the use of land and structure, height and bulk of structures, density of population, lot area, yard dimensions, and area of lot that can be covered by each structure.

      (2)   The Zoning Administrator shall have the power to classify a use which is not specifically mentioned as "permitted" or "permitted by special use permit" in a particular zoning district by determining that it is generally similar to the other uses permitted in that district.

   (E)   Zoning of vacated areas. Whenever any street, alley, or other public way within the village shall have been vacated by official public action, and when the lands within the boundaries thereof attach to and become a part of lands adjoining the street, alley, or public way, the lands formerly within the vacated street, alley, or public way shall automatically and without further action of the Village Council, thenceforth acquire and be subject to the same zoning regulations as are applicable to lands to which same shall attach, and the same shall be used for the same use as is permitted under this chapter for the adjoining lands.

   (F)   District requirements. All buildings and uses in any district shall be subject, where applicable, to the provisions of §§ 153.080 through 153.089, 153.100, and 153.101.

   (G)   Categories within zone districts. In order to ensure all possible benefits and protection for the zone districts in this chapter, the land uses have been classified into two categories:

      (1)   Uses permitted by right. The primary uses and structures specified for which the zone district has been established; and

      (2)   Uses permitted by special use permit. Uses and structures which have been generally accepted as reasonably compatible with the primary uses and structures within the zone district, but could present potential injurious effects upon the primary uses and structures within the zone district and therefore require special consideration in relation to the welfare of adjacent properties and to the community as a whole. All the proposed uses shall be subject to a public hearing following review as provided in §§ 153.115 through 153.134.

   (H)   The table below shows an overview of the uses permitted in each zoning district. P = "Permitted" and S = "Permitted by Special Use Permit." An empty box indicates that the use is not permitted in that Zoning District.
