(Ord. of 6-9-2010, § 3.1)

(a)

The zoning districts as provided in section 36-37 are bound and defined on a map entitled, "Official Zoning Map, Cambridge Township, Lenawee County, Michigan, dated January 8, 2003," which map with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby adopted as a part of this chapter.

(b)

The official zoning map shall be identified by the signature of the township supervisor, attested by the township clerk. The official zoning map shall be located in the office of the township clerk and available for examination.

(Ord. of 6-9-2010, § 3.2)

(a)

Except where specifically designated on the official zoning map, the zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow lot lines; the center lines of streets or alleys; the center lines of creeks, streams or rivers; the center lines of streets or alleys projected; center lines of railroad right-of-way lines; section lines; one-quarter section lines; one-eighth section lines or a corporate limit line; all as they existed at the time of the enactment of the ordinance from which this article is derived, as subsequently modified and designated as such boundary line. Where a district boundary does not coincide with any of the above lines, the district boundary lines shall be dimensioned on the official zoning map.

(b)

When the location of a district boundary is uncertain, the zoning board of appeals shall interpret the exact location of the district boundary.

(Ord. of 6-9-2010, § 3.3)

It is recognized that it is neither possible nor practical to list all of the potential land uses indicated and intended for the individual zoning districts. Therefore, any other use that is determined by the township board, after hearing and recommendation by the township planning commission, to be of the same general character, compatibility and similarity as the indicated permitted or conditional use may be permitted provided the use is not mentioned or permitted within another zoning district. However, notwithstanding, a use mentioned or permitted in another zoning district may be permitted under this chapter, after hearing, recommendation and approval, if it is of a less intense nature and otherwise compatible with the zoning district for which it is proposed.

(Ord. of 6-9-2010, § 3.4)
