1113.02 OFFICIAL ZONING MAP.
(a) The districts established in Section 1113.01 are shown on the Zoning Map which, together with all explanatory matter therein, is hereby adopted as part of this Zoning Code and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Zoning Code. The Zoning Map, properly attested, shall remain on file in the office of the Municipal Manager or his/her designee.
(b) Greenbelt Districts shown on the official Zoning Map are intended to be identical to those on the original Zoning Map titled "Zoning Districts Map, Greenhills, Ohio, May 5, 1949" except as modified through appropriate legal means and on record in the office of the Municipal Manager. (Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)
1113.03 INTERPRETATION OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.
(a) Except where referenced on the map to a street or alley line or other designated line by dimensions shown on the map, the district boundary lines follow lot lines or the center lines of streets or alleys as they existed at the time of adoption of this Chapter, but where a district line obviously does not coincide with the lot lines as such, or center lines of streets or alleys, or where it is not designated by dimensions, it shall be determined by the use of an engineer's scale as measured on the Zoning Map.
(b) When the streets or alleys on the ground differ from the streets or alleys on the Zoning Map, the Board of Appeals may apply the Zoning District designations on the map to the property on the ground in such a manner as to conform to the intent and purposes of this Section in the judgment of the Board. However, under no circumstances shall any areas within the Greenbelt District be eliminated or reduced because of any district boundary interpretation.
(Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)
1113.04 LOT DIVIDED, EXTENSION OF DISTRICT.
Where a district boundary line established in this Section or as shown on the Zoning Map divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of enactment of this Chapter, the use authorized thereon and the other district requirements applying to the more restricted potion of such lot under this Chapter shall be considered as extending to the entire lot. Under no circumstances shall any areas within the Greenbelt District be eliminated or reduced because of any district boundary division or extension.
(Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)
1113.05 VACATED STREET OR ALLEY.
Whenever any street, alley, or other public way is vacated by official action as provided by law, the zoning district adjoining the side of such public way shall be extended automatically, depending on the side or sides to which such lands revert, to include the right-of-way thus vacated, which shall thenceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended district.
(Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)
1113.06 ANNEXATIONS.
All territory which may hereafter become a part of the Village of Greenhills by annexation shall automatically be classed as lying and being in the same District as it was designated by the adjacent jurisdiction, if there be a similar District in existence under these regulations; insofar as the use, area and height of buildings erected thereon can fit into a similar zone, such District shall be applied. If no such use or District is available, then such portion annexed shall automatically be classified as lying and being in the "R-1" Residence District until such classification shall have been changed by an amendment to the Zoning Map, as provided for by law.
(Ord. 2013-04-CD. Passed 4-2-13.)
