(b) All territory that is annexed into the Village of West Jefferson after [30 days after passage of this ordinance] shall, immediately upon the effective date of annexation, be zoned in the A-1 Agricultural District and shall be subject to the regulations and restrictions applicable thereto. If such territory, at the time of such annexation, encompasses uses prohibited in the A-1 Agricultural District, such uses shall be considered legal nonconforming uses within the meaning of Section 1117.06 herein.
(c) In any case where property within the Village of West Jefferson has not been included within a zoning district, such property shall be considered to be in the A-1 Agricultural District until otherwise reclassified. Any lawful use of any dwelling, building, structure or land within such property, existing at the effective date of this section, may be continued and such uses shall be considered legal nonconforming uses within the meaning of Section 1117.06.
(Ord. 22-089. Passed 12-5-22.)
The boundaries of the district are shown upon the map, which is made a part of this Ordinance which map is designated as the "District Map". The District Map and all the notations, references and other information shown thereon are a part of this Ordinance and have the same force and effect as if the District Map and all the notations, references and other information shown thereon were all fully set forth or described therein, the original of which District Map is properly attested and is on file with the Director of Public Service.
No amendment to this Ordinance, which involves matters portrayed on the official District Map, shall become effective until after such change and entry has been made on said Map.
No change of any nature shall be made on the official District Map or matter shown thereon except in conformity with the procedures set forth in this Ordinance.
Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the official District Map which may from time to time be made or published, the official District Map, which shall be located in the office of the Director of Public Service, shall be the final authority as to the current Zoning status of land and water areas, buildings and other structures.
In the event that the official District Map becomes damaged, destroyed or lost, the Village Council may, by resolution, adopt a new official District Map, which shall supersede the prior official District Map. The new official District Map may correct drafting or other errors or omissions in the prior official District Map, but no such corrections shall have the effect of amending the original ordinance or subsequent amendments thereof.
(Ord. 22-089. Passed 12-5-22.)
(a) The district boundary lines on said Map are intended to follow either center lines of streets, alleys or lot lines; and where the districts designated on the Map are bounded approximately by such street, alley or lot lines, the street or alley or lot shall be construed to be the boundary of the district, unless such boundary is otherwise indicated on the Map. In the case of unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the zoning District Map or by dimensions.
(b) Where the boundary of a district follows a railroad line, such boundary shall be deemed to be located midway between the main tracks of such railroad line.
(c) Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of the Council of West Jefferson, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation and all area included in the vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all appropriate regulations of the extended districts. (Ord. 22-089. Passed 12-5-22.)
