§ 445-3.3 Zoning Map.
A.
Official Zoning Map. The Village of Hales Corners is hereby divided into zoning districts as shown upon a map designated as the Official Zoning Map of the Village of Hales Corners, dated May 11, 1957, and made a part of this chapter. The Official Zoning Map and all the notations, references, amendments and other information shown thereon are a part of this chapter and shall have the same force and effect as if the matters and information set forth by said map were fully described herein. The Official Zoning Map shall be properly attested and kept on file along with the text of the official zoning regulations in the office of the Village Administrator.
B.
District boundaries. The district boundaries shall be determined by measurement from and as shown on the Official Zoning Map, and in case of any question as to the interpretation of such boundary lines, the Village Board shall interpret the map according to the reasonable intent of this chapter. Unless otherwise specifically indicated or dimensioned on the map, the district boundaries are normally lot lines; section, quarter-section or sixteenth-section lines; or the center lines of streets, highways, railways or alleys.
§ 445-3.4 Rules for interpretation of district boundaries.
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow such center lines.
B.
Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
C.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot in a single ownership on December 10, 1956, the regulations for either portion of such lot may extend to the entire lot, but not more than 25 feet beyond the boundary line of the district for which such regulations are established; otherwise the more restrictive district regulations to the property owner will apply.
D.
In unsubdivided property, unless otherwise indicated, the district boundary lines are the center lines of streets, highways, railroads, section lines, quarter-section lines or such lines extended. Whenever a portion of any district is indicated upon the Zoning Map as a strip paralleling an opened or unopened street or highway, the width of this strip, unless otherwise indicated, shall be assumed to be 120 feet, measured at right angles from the nearest street or right-of-way of the street or highway to which it is parallel and adjacent.
E.
In unsubdivided property, districts shown as narrow strips adjacent to streets or highways are intended to stop at lines which would mark an alley or the end of a block when platted. The normal length of a block, center to center of street, is 660 feet in a north-and-south direction and 330 feet in an east-and-west direction. A district may extend one or more blocks or fraction of a block as indicated by the length of the district shown on the Zoning Map.
F.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts shown on the Zoning Map, such boundaries shall be determined by use of the scale contained on such map.

§ 445-3.15 RCO Redevelopment/Conservation Overlay District.
A.
Definition and purpose. This district is superimposed upon basic districts to provide certain additional permissive uses and regulatory standards applicable thereto without disturbing the underlying basic district regulations and zoning. The intent of the overlay district is similar to that upon which conditional use grants are premised.
B.
The RCO District is intended to be used on a limited basis in the Village in existing areas that have been developed for decades, including structures and areas of historic value; and where structures and uses are nearing the end of their economic life as a result of age, obsolescence of use, irregularly shaped or insufficient lot size, the encroachment of other noncompatible uses, poor or unsafe access for vehicles and pedestrians, and substandard or deteriorating structures; and where conserving the remaining life of other structures and uses is hampered by these factors; and where detailed comprehensive planning has shown that only through a concerted and coordinated effort between local government and private ownership can a new use and development pattern be evolved which will resolve the incompatibilities and permit a natural and healthy renewal of the neighborhood; and where the sole use of conventional basic zoning districts would be insufficient to resolve aforementioned use and development problems and insufficient to address renewal efforts.
C.
Therefore, this district permits existing uses and structures to continue, but requires all remodeling or additions to structures, changes of use, and new development or use to be processed under § 445-2.2A(1). In addition, the Village shall consider the compatibility with any adopted redevelopment plans and the Land Use, Urban Design, and Transportation Plan for Selected Arterial Street Corridors (SEWRPC, May 1993) and amendments.
