When there is disagreement on the location of district boundaries, a decision shall be rendered by the Zoning Hearing Board.
§ 166-8 Annexations.
All land annexed to the City after the effective date of this chapter shall be classified automatically as R-1 Single-Family Residential Zone unless differently designated in the annexing ordinance. The Planning Commission shall recommend to the City Council appropriate zoning for the annexed area within six months after the effective date of annexation.
§ 166-9 Zone boundary and lot lines.
If a zone boundary line does not follow an existing lot line, the lot boundary line closest to the zone boundary line, as of the date of the passage of this chapter, shall be considered, for intents and purposes, as the zone boundary line.
§ 166-10 Degree of permissiveness and restrictiveness.
A.
Permissiveness. The zones described in § 166-5 shall be categorized from highest to lowest, with R-1 being the highest zone and I-2 being the lowest zone. Where a use is specifically enumerated in a higher zone, that use will spill down to each and every lower zone for such allowable use if it is specifically designated as having been spilled down in the lower zone. If a use is set forth in any zone as both a permitted use and a spill-down use, the allowance of the use as permitted use shall prevail; provided, however, that no residential use shall spill down into any industrial zone.
B.
Restrictions. Where a use is specifically enumerated in a less restrictive zone, such use shall not be permitted in a more restrictive one, unless it is specifically enumerated as a use therein. No private or public housing shall be permitted in any industrial zone.
