   A.   Official Maps Established: The boundaries of the listed zoning districts are hereby established as shown on the official zoning maps of the village. There are two (2) official zoning maps: the village zoning map and the mile and one-half (11/2) zoning map. These official maps including all notations and other information thereon, are hereby made a part of this title by reference. The official zoning maps shall be kept on file at the village hall. (Ord. 92-09, 4-14-1992)

   B.   Annual Publication 1 : In accordance with state law 2 , the zoning administrator shall publish the zoning map of the village not later than March 31 of each year, said map to clearly show the existing zoning uses, divisions, restrictions, regulations, and classifications for the preceding calendar year. However, no map shall be published for any calendar year during which there have been no changes in zoning uses, divisions, restrictions, regulations or classifications. (Ord. 92-09, 4-14-1992; amd. 2003 Code)

In determining with precision what territory is actually included within any zoning district, the zoning administrator shall apply the following rules:

   A.   Where a district boundary, as indicated on the zoning map, approximately follows any of the features listed below on the left, the corresponding feature on the right shall be deemed the district boundary:

 

 

   B.   Whenever any street, alley, or other public way is legally vacated, the zoning districts adjoining each side of such vacated public way shall automatically extend to the center of such way, and all territory included in the vacated way shall thereafter be subject to all regulations of the extended districts. (Ord. 92-09, 4-14-1992)

Upon the effective date of this title, whenever any territory is annexed to the village, the village council shall determine its district classification at the time of annexation. (Ord. 92-09, 4-14-1992)
