§ 30-7.3. Zoning map.

(a)

Location of Districts.

The location and boundaries of the zoning districts established by this Ordinance are set forth in the Official Zoning Map, as periodically amended. The Official Zoning Map is incorporated into, and made an integral part of, this Ordinance.

It is the intent of this Ordinance that the entire area of the Village, including all land and water areas, be included in the zoning districts established by this Ordinance. Any land lying within the Village, but not shown on the Official Zoning Map as being included within a district, is classified as the R Single-Family Detached Residence District.

(b)

Interpretation of Boundary Lines.

(1)

Right-of-Way Lines. Where zoning district boundary lines coincide with streets, alleys, highways, easements, or right-of-way lines of railroads, toll roads or expressways, the boundary line is construed to be the center line of the right-of-way.

(2)

Property Lines and Municipal Borders. Where zoning district boundary lines coincide with a recorded property line or a municipal border, the property line is construed to be the boundary line of the district.

(3)

Scaled Lines. Where the district boundary lines do not coincide with a right-of-way line or recorded property line, the district boundary is determined by measuring such boundary line(s) by using the map scale as provided on the Official Zoning Map.

(4)

District Boundary Dividing a Lot. Where the map shows a district boundary dividing a lot, each part of the lot must be used in conformity with the standards established by this Ordinance for the zoning district in which that part is located.

(5)

Clarification of Boundary Lines. The Zoning Board of Appeals will decide all interpretations of zoning district boundary lines, where the application of Paragraphs (1) through (4) above leaves doubt as to the boundary between two (2) zoning districts.
