MHP residential manufactured housing district

CBD central business district

GBD general business district

IND industrial district

(Ord. No. 82, § 4.1, eff. 6-25-1991)

A map showing by appropriate means the various districts into which the village is divided shall be entitled "Village of Goodrich Zoning Map." The map shall bear the date adopted or amended and is hereby made a part of this chapter. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the districts established in this chapter as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall be applied:

(1)

Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the centerlines of street or highway rights-of-way, street lines, or highway right-of-way lines, such centerlines, street lines, or highway right-of-way lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

(2)

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centerlines of street or rail rights-of-way, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distances therefrom as indicated on the zoning map. If no such distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the zoning map. The official mylar map available from the village shall be used to determine such dimensions in the case of any multiple interpretations.

(3)

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

(4)

Where the boundary of a district follows, or terminates at, a stream, lake, or other body of water, the boundary line shall be deemed to be at the centerline of such feature, or terminated at the limit of the adjacent jurisdiction unless otherwise indicated.

(5)

Where the boundary of a district follows a subdivision boundary line, such boundary line shall be construed to be the district boundary line.

(6)

The board of appeals shall make a determination, upon written application, or upon its own motion, in those situations where unzoned property may exist, or where, due to the scale, lack of detail, or illegibility of the zoning map, there is any uncertainty, contradiction, or conflict as to the intended location of any district boundaries shown thereon or interpretation concerning the exact location of district boundary lines.

(Ord. No. 82, § 4.2, eff. 6-25-1991)

Whenever any street or other public way within the village shall be vacated, such street, alley or other public way or portion thereof shall automatically be zoned consistent with the zoning of the adjacent property or properties, measured from the centerline.

(Ord. No. 82, § 4.3, eff. 6-25-1991)

Any unzoned area annexed to the village shall, immediately upon such annexation, be automatically classified as a "VLDR" district until a zoning map for the area has been adopted by the council. The planning commission shall recommend appropriate zoning for such area within three months after the matter is referred to it by the council.

(Ord. No. 82, § 4.4, eff. 6-25-1991)

This table is intended as a guide, the actual lists contained within the article for each zoning district should be referenced for any standards and more detailed listing. Where inconsistencies occur, the lists of uses within each zoning district section shall take precedence.
