For the purpose of this chapter, the township is divided into the following districts:

(Ord. No. 50, § 4.1, 11-17-1992)

(a)

Identified. The zoning districts as provided in section 32-91 are bounded and defined as shown on the map entitled "Zoning District Map of Holly Township." The zoning district map, along with all notations, references, and other explanatory information, shall accompany and be made a part of this chapter.

(b)

Authority. Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the zoning district map which may be published, a true and current copy of the zoning district map available for public inspection shall be located in and maintained by the office of the township clerk. The township clerk's copy shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of any land, parcel, lot, district, use, building, or structure in the township.

(c)

Interpretation of district boundaries. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the districts indicated on the zoning district map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

A boundary indicated as approximately following the centerline of a highway, alley, or easement shall be construed as following such centerline.

(2)

A boundary indicated approximately following a recorded lot line or the line bounding a parcel shall be construed as following such line.

(3)

A boundary indicated as approximately following a municipal boundary line of a city, village, or township shall be construed as following such line.

(4)

A boundary indicated as following a railroad line shall be construed as being located midway in the right-of-way.

(5)

A boundary indicated as following a shoreline shall be construed as following such shoreline, and in the event of change in the shoreline shall be construed as following the shoreline existing at the time the interpretation is made.

(6)

The boundary indicated as following the centerline of a stream or river, canal, lake or other body of water shall be construed as following such centerline.

(7)

A boundary indicated as parallel to, or an extension of, features in subsections (c)(1) through (c)(6) of this section shall be so construed.

(8)

A distance not specifically indicated on the zoning district map shall be determined by the scale of the map.

(9)

Where a physical or cultural feature existing on the ground is at variance with that shown on the zoning district map or any other circumstances not covered by subsections (c)(1) through (c)(8) of this section, the zoning board of appeals shall interpret the location of the zoning district boundary.

(10)

Where a district boundary line divides a lot which is in single ownership at the time of adoption of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, the zoning board of appeals may permit an extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot to the nearest lot line, but not to exceed 50 feet beyond the district line into the remaining portion of the lot.

(Ord. No. 50, § 4.2, 11-17-1992)

(a)

Minimum regulations. The regulations established in this chapter within each zoning district shall be the minimum regulations for promoting and protecting the public health, safety, and general welfare and shall be uniform for each class of land, buildings, structure, or uses throughout each district.

(b)

Application of regulations. No building shall hereafter be erected, altered, or moved, nor shall any building or premises hereafter be used for any purpose other than is permitted in the district in which such building or premises is located, except by variance as described by this chapter. Wherever the requirements of this chapter are at variance with the requirements of any other adopted regulations, or ordinances, the most restrictive or those imposing the higher standards shall govern. Except as provided in this chapter, district regulations shall be applied in the following manner:

(1)

Uses in districts.

a.

Permitted uses. Permitted uses shall be permitted by right only if specifically listed as principal permitted uses in the various zoning districts or are similar to such listed uses. All other uses are prohibited.

b.

c.

Special approval uses. Special uses are permitted as listed. The applicability of uses which are similar to the listed special uses, shall be determined by the zoning board of appeals.

(2)

Application of area and width regulations. No lot area or width shall be so reduced or diminished that yards and other open spaces shall be smaller than specified, nor shall the density of population be increased in any manner except in conformity with the area regulations, nor shall the area of any lot be reduced below the minimum requirements in this chapter established for the district in which such lot is located.

(3)

Application of yard regulations.

c.

All side and rear yard setback lines shall be the minimum perpendicular distance between the nearest point on the side or rear foundation wall of the structure and the side or rear lot line parallel thereto.

g.

No parcel of land shall be divided in the township so that the ratio of the width to depth is no greater than one foot for each four feet of depth (1:4), except for a parcel larger than ten acres. Parcels larger than ten acres may exceed the four to one depth ratio at the discretion of the land division committee. The depth to width ratio requirements of this subsection may not apply to a parcel(s) larger than ten acres and may not apply to the remainder of the parent parcel or parent tract retained by the proprietor.

(a)

Intent. The regulations of the limited industrial district are set up to provide land for various types of industrial, research, office and warehousing uses that are compatible with one another. The lands included in the limited industrial district are those suited for use primarily by industries characterized by low intensity land coverage, the absence of objectionable external effects, and the possibility of large setbacks, attractive building architecture, and appropriate landscaped areas. The purpose of the limited industrial district is to provide suitable sites for such uses, while making certain that such uses will be compatible with adjacent or surrounding districts. To these ends, development in the limited industrial district is limited to a low concentration, external effects are minimized, and permitted uses are limited to those which are adapted to an environment of this nature. The regulations for the limited industrial district are also designed to stabilize and protect the essential characteristics of the district by excluding uses which would have a detrimental effect upon the orderly development and functioning of the limited industrial district and the surrounding area.

Permitted uses. The following shall be permitted uses in the limited industrial district:

(1)

(a)

Intent. The general industrial district is designed to provide land for large-scale and more intense types of industrial and manufacturing uses. It is the purpose of this section to permit the development of certain functions; to protect the abutting residential and commercial properties from incompatible industrial activities; to restrict the intrusion of nonrelated uses such as residential, retail business and commercial, and to encourage the discontinuance of uses presently existing in the general industrial district, which are nonconforming by virtue of the type of use. To these ends, certain uses are excluded which would function more effectively in other districts and which would interfere with the operation of the uses permitted in general industrial district.

(b)

Permitted uses. The following shall be permitted uses in the general industrial district:

All permitted and special uses in the LI district, except as specifically noted in this section.

(c)
