For purposes of this Ordinance, the Village of Godfrey is divided into the following zoning districts, which shall have the minimum lot and district sizes as indicated:

(Ord. No. 07-2009, 3-3-2009)

Zoning districts and classifications shall be as designated on the official zoning map of the Village of Godfrey. Amendments to classification of land under this Ordinance shall be reflected on the official zoning map and accomplished pursuant to the provisions of section 60.900 et seq.

(Ord. No. 07-2009, 3-3-2009)

All land which may subsequently be annexed to the Village of Godfrey shall be zoned and placed into a zoning district at the time the property is annexed to the Village of Godfrey. In the event the land is not given a zoning district classification at the time of annexation, it shall be classified as R-1 until otherwise changed by action of the board of trustees pursuant to the provisions of this Ordinance.

(Ord. No. 07-2009, 3-3-2009)

Land which has been validly subdivided and platted, whether or not developed, at the effective date of this Ordinance and which otherwise complies with the zoning regulations in effect prior to the effective date of this Ordinance may be developed with the lot sizes and widths shown on the record plat of that land provided that all other requirements of this Ordinance are met in the development of such platted land.

(Ord. No. 07-2009, 3-3-2009)

Land which is zoned R-4, single-family residential, at the effective date of this Ordinance and which is unplatted, may be platted and developed under such classification for a period of two years from and after the effective date of this Ordinance. At the expiration of such two-year period, any unplatted land with an R-4 classification shall be reclassified to R-3 and meet all requirements of the R-3 classification. It is the intent of this Ordinance that no additional land shall be classified as a R-4 zoning classification.

(Ord. No. 07-2009, 3-3-2009)

All costs associated with any annexation agreement considered by the Village of Godfrey such as engineering fees and charges for the petitioner and the village, legal fees for the petitioner and the village, filing fees, zoning application fees, recording fees and any other charges and expenses incurred because of the annexation petition shall be paid by the petitioner seeking to annex property to the Village of Godfrey, and the annexation agreement shall so provide prior to the Godfrey Planning and Zoning Commission making any recommendation with regard to the zoning classification for any property proposed to be annexed to the Village of Godfrey or, in the event no action is taken by the Godfrey Planning and Zoning Commission, before any action is taken by the village board of trustees with regard to the annexation petition.
