The Village is hereby divided into the following use districts:

For the purpose of this chapter, the more restricted district shall be deemed to be that district which is subject to regulations which prohibit the particular use intended to be made of said lot or regulations which require higher standards with respect to setback, care of yards, screening, landscaping and similar requirements. No use shall be permitted in a residential, commercial or industrial district unless expressly authorized herein, whether more or less restrictive.

Unless otherwise shown, the district boundary lines shall be construed to coincide with the center lines of streets, alleys, parkways, waterways, rights-of-way or extensions of such lines.

Where such boundary lines are indicated as approximately following the property lines of parks or other publicly owned lands, such lines shall be construed to be such property lines.

Where a district boundary line is located not more than 15 feet from a lot line on record on the effective date of this chapter, such boundary line shall be construed to coincide with such lot line.

Where dimensions are not shown on the map, the location of district boundary lines shown on the map shall be determined by the Board of Zoning and Appeals.

Where the location of a district boundary line is uncertain or disputed, the true location thereof shall be determined by the Board of Zoning and Appeals.

No new building shall be erected nor any new or existing building moved, altered, rebuilt or enlarged nor any land or building used, designed or arranged to be used for any purpose or in any manner except in compliance with all the regulations, requirements and restrictions specified in this chapter for the district in which such land or building is located.

No lot, piece or parcel of land in single ownership on the effective date hereof, whether improved or vacant, shall be assembled, divided or subdivided unless each resulting part thereof shall conform to the minimum lot area requirements of this chapter applicable thereto and unless buildings on each part thereof shall conform to the setback, yard, lot area, occupancy and other provisions of this chapter applicable thereto after such division or subdivision. In determining conformity, contiguous land of the grantee of any such part shall be considered.

No yard or open space required in connection with any building or use shall be included as the required yard or open area for any other building on the same or any other lot.

Purpose and adoption. To facilitate public understanding of this chapter and for the better administration thereof, the regulations establishing required open spaces, limiting the use of land and buildings and the location, arrangement, height, bulk maximum and minimum size of buildings and other requirements may be set forth in a schedule to be established, which is hereby declared not to be a part of this chapter, and may be amended in the same manner as it may be adopted.

The schedule is to be considered only an interpretive aid and is not to be considered part of this chapter. The provisions of the Zoning Code shall be only those provisions adopted as part of this chapter or as adopted thereafter by local law amending the provisions of this chapter. No amendment of this chapter may be enacted by resolution alone. Wherever the provisions of the schedule and the text of this chapter may conflict, the text of this chapter shall prevail.
