The zoning districts and their boundaries are as shown upon the Zoning District Map entitled "Zoning District Map, Carbon Hill, Illinois, dated August 27, 1968," which map and all amendments thereto and all notations, references, and other information shown thereon are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this chapter, with the same force and effect as if fully set forth in this chapter.

Editor's Note: A copy of said map is included as an attachment to this chapter.
B. 
Boundaries of districts. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various zoning districts as shown on the Zoning District Map, the following rules apply:
(1) 
District boundary lines are either:
(a) 
The center lines of highways, streets, alleys, easements, or waterways;
(b) 
The boundary lines of sections, quarter sections, and divisions of sections;
(c) 
Property lines of record on the effective date of this chapter for tracts and lots; or
(d) 
Such lines extended unless otherwise indicated.
(2) 
Wherever a district is indicated as a strip adjacent to and paralleling a street or highway, and the boundaries are not located as forth in Subsection B(1)(a) above, the depth of such strips shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the map measured at right angles from the center lines of the street or highway, and the length of frontage shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the map from section, quarter section, or division lines, or center lines of streets or highways, unless otherwise indicated.
(3) 
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single ownership, the regulations for either portion of the lot may, in the owner's discretion, extend to the entire lot, but not more than 40 feet beyond the boundary line of the district.
(4) 
Questions concerning the exact locations of zoning district boundary lines shall be resolved by the Board of Trustees after receiving recommendations from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
C. 
Annexed territory. On land hereafter annexed to the Village, no structures shall be erected, enlarged, or moved and no change in use of land, or existing structures shall be made until an amendment to this chapter designating the zoning district classification of such annexed land is duly adopted by the Board of Trustees, provided that if no such ordinance has been so adopted within 120 days after such land is annexed, the annexed land shall be automatically classified as R1 Single-family Detached Residence District.
