   (A)   The district boundaries are either streets or alleys unless otherwise shown and where the districts designated on the said district map are bounded approximately by street or alley lines, the street or alley shall be construed to be the boundary of the district.

   (B)   Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated, and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines, and where the districts designated on the district map are bounded approximately by lot lines, the lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary of the districts unless the boundaries are otherwise indicated on the map.

   (C)   In unsubdivided property the district boundary lines on the district map shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map. (Ord. 215, 9-17-1962)

The boundaries of the districts are shown upon the district map which is made a part of this title by reference. The district map and all notations, references and other information shown thereon are a part of this title 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 herein, the original of which district map is properly attested and is on file with the clerk of the village. (Ord. 215, 9-17-1962)

Any and all property which may hereafter be annexed to the village shall, prior to the election at which the question of such annexation is to be submitted to the citizens of the village, be studied by the zoning board of appeals and tentatively classified into one or more of the several districts. Such property, when such annexation shall become final, shall be in the district as designated by the said zoning board of appeals. Within six (6) months of the date of such annexation, the zoning board of appeals shall call a public hearing for the purpose of zoning said annexed property, and within thirty (30) days after such hearing shall recommend to the village president and board of trustees that this title be amended so as to classify such property in accordance with such recommendations. All property hereafter annexed to the village and which has not before such annexation been otherwise tentatively classified pursuant to the provisions of this section, shall be classified as a class A district until this classification is changed by amendment to this title. (Ord. 215, 9-17-1962)
