The Village is hereby divided into districts under three general categories which shall be known as: Public Districts, Residential Districts, and Business Districts.

(Ord. 0-1847-01, passed 12-17-01)

   (A)   Boundaries of districts. The boundaries of the districts are shown upon the map, which is made a part of this chapter, which map is designated as the "District Map." The District Map and other information shown thereon are a part of this chapter. The original District Map is properly attested and is on file with the office of the Village.

   (B)   Effective date of amendments. No amendment to this chapter, which involves matter portrayed on the District Map, shall become effective until after such change and entry has been approved by Council. No changes of any nature shall be made on the District Map or matter shown thereon except in conformity with the procedures set forth in this chapter.

   (C)   Authority of map. The District Map, which shall be located in the office of the Village, shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of land and water area, buildings and other structures, except as revised by ordinance of Council.

   (D)   Annexed territory. All territory hereafter annexed to the Village shall be automatically zoned as the district which represents its intended use.

(Ord. 0-1847-01, passed 12-17-01)

   (A)   The district boundary lines on the map are intended to follow centerlines of thoroughfares, centerlines of railroads, or lot lines. In the case of unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines will be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the zoning district map or by dimensions.

   (B)   Whenever any street, alley, or other public way is vacated by official action of the Council, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley, or public way shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation.
