(Prior Code, App., § 300) (Ord. 91-4, passed 9-5-1991)

   The boundaries of these districts are hereby established as shown on the Zoning Map which accompanies this Zoning Ordinance and which map with all notations, references and other information shown thereon shall be as much a part of this chapter as if fully described herein:

   (A)   Unless shown otherwise, the boundaries of the districts are lot lines, the center lines of streets, alleys, roads or the lines extended, and the limits of the city. Where district boundaries are shown coinciding with street, alley or road right-of-way lines, the boundary shall be the center line of the right-of-way.

   (B)   Where, due to the scale, lack of detail, or illegibility of the Zoning Map accompanying this chapter, there is an uncertainty, contradiction, or confliction as to the intended location of any district boundaries shown thereon, interpretation concerning the exact location of district boundary lines shall be determined upon written application to, or upon its own motion, by the Board of Appeals.

(Prior Code, App., § 301)

   Whenever any street, alley or other public way within the city shall be vacated, such street, alley or other public way or portion thereof shall automatically be classified in the same zone district as the property to which it attaches.

(Prior Code, App., § 302)

   Any area annexed to the City of Marine City which has not been zoned pursuant to the master plan or zoning ordinance of any other municipality shall immediately upon the annexation be automatically classified as a temporary R-1B District until a zoning map for the area has been adopted by the City Commission. The Planning Commission shall recommend appropriate zoning for the temporary R-1B District within 3 months after the matter is referred to the Planning Commission by the City Commission. In the case of annexed area which is presently classified as zoned property pursuant to a master plan or zoning ordinance of any other adjacent municipality the property shall retain its present zoning classification upon annexation.

(Prior Code, App., § 303) (Ord. 79-9, passed 10-18-1979)

   (A)   The regulations herein established within each zoning district shall be the minimum regulations for promoting and protecting the public health, safety, and general welfare and shall be uniform for each class of land, building, structure, or uses throughout each district.

   (B)   No building shall hereafter be erected, altered, or moved, nor shall any building or premises hereafter be used for any purpose other than is permitted in the district in which said building or premises is located, except by appeal as herein described by this Ordinance. Wherever the requirements of this Ordinance are at variance with the requirements of any other adopted regulations, or ordinances, the most restrictive or those imposing the higher standards shall govern.

(Ord. 2019-002, passed 2-21-2019)
