(2)

District Areas. The areas assigned to and included in the districts created in Section 3.01 (1) of this Ordinance, together with the designation and boundaries of said districts as shown on the Zoning Map of the City of Livonia, are hereby established.

(3)

Sections of Zoning Map. Zoning Map of the City of Livonia is hereby divided into one hundred forty-four (144) quarter sections which shall be the same in area, boundaries, and location as the thirty-six (36) sections of the City of Livonia, also known as Town One (1) South, Range Nine (9) East, Wayne County, Michigan, and which shall be known by the same section numbers as the corresponding sections of said City.

(4)

Amendments of Zoning Map. The Zoning Map of the City of Livonia may be amended from time to time, in whole or in part, by Ordinance to which there shall be attached a map of the section or sections, or any part thereof, affected by the amendment or amendments set forth in such Ordinance. Each map showing an amendment shall be designated "Amendment No. ___ to the Zoning Map of the City of Livonia" and shall be given a number. Whenever the Council shall cause the Zoning Map of the City of Livonia to be amended as a whole, such map shall contain and show all prior amendments. Each amendment stating or describing a change in the districts, areas, or boundaries established by the provisions of this Article shall be considered and designated as an additional section of this Article. All other amendments shall be affected by re-enacting and publishing at length the section or sections amended, as provided in Section 23, Chapter IV of the Charter.

A copy of the Zoning Map of the City of Livonia adopted by this Ordinance shall be prominently displayed for public examination in the City Planning Department. Thereafter the same shall be revised to reflect such amendments of the Zoning Ordinance as may be made from time to time, and it shall be the duty of the City Planner to make these revisions no later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of such enactment.

(5)

Interpretation of the Zoning Map. Where, due to the scale, lack of detail, or illegibility of the Zoning Map accompanying this Ordinance, there is an uncertainty, contradiction, or conflict as to the intended location of any Zoning District boundary as shown thereon, interpretation concerning the exact location of the Zoning District boundary line shall be determined by the Board of Appeals. The Board in arriving at a decision on these matters, shall apply the following standards:

A)

Zoning District boundary lines are intended to follow lot lines, or be parallel or perpendicular thereto, or along the center lines of alleys, streets, rights-of-way, or water courses, unless such Zoning District boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the Zoning Map.

B)

When Zoning District boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

C)

In unsubdivided property, or where a zoning district divides a recorded lot, the location of any such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the zoning map, shall be determined by use of the map scale shown thereon.

D)

If, after the application of the foregoing rules, uncertainty still exists as to the exact location of a zoning district boundary, the Board of Appeals shall determine and fix the location of said line in a reasonable manner to best accomplish the purposes of this Ordinance.

(6)

Districting of Vacated Streets and Alleys. Whenever a street or alley shall have been vacated, the land within the former street or alley, or portion thereof, shall automatically be classified in the same zoning district as the property to which it attaches.

(7)

District Regulations. Each district, as created in this Article, shall be subject to the regulations contained in this Ordinance. Uses not expressly permitted are prohibited. Uses for enterprises or purposes that are contrary to federal, state, or local laws or ordinances are prohibited. Waiver uses, because of their nature, require special restrictions and some measure of individual attention to determine whether or not such uses will be compatible with uses permitted by right in the district and with the purposes of this Ordinance. Waiver uses are therefore prohibited uses unless a waiver of such prohibition is reviewed, and findings submitted by the City Planning Commission as provided in this Ordinance and approved by the City Council.

Section 3.02 - Adoption of Zoning Map.

The Zoning Map, as identified by the signature of the President of the Council, and signed by the Mayor and City Clerk, together with all notations, references, and other information shown thereon is hereby approved and adopted. Such map, together with all amendments which may be hereafter made thereto, shall be known and cited as the Livonia Zoning Map for all purposes. The Livonia Zoning Map of the City of Livonia is hereby made a part of this Ordinance with the same effect as if all matters and information set forth in said map were fully described therein.

(Ord. of 2-14-2023)
