In order to carry out the purposes and provisions of this chapter, the city is divided into the following districts:

(Code 2012, § 17.12.010; Ord. of 9-28-1966, § 6(A); Ord. No. 3456, § 13, 2-2-2004)

The zoning districts and their boundaries are as shown upon the zoning district map entitled, "Zoning District Map, City of Morris," dated September 28, 1966, as amended January 1968; as amended March 31, 1972; as amended March 1973, which map and all amendments thereto and all notations, references, and other information shown thereon are incorporated into and made a part of this chapter, with the same force and effect as if fully set forth in this chapter. The original zoning district map, properly attested to, is on file with the city clerk.

(Code 2012, § 17.12.020; Ord. of 9-28-1966, § 6(B)(1))

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various zoning districts as shown on the zoning district map, the following rules apply:

(1)

A zoning district boundary line following a street, railroad right-of-way, waterway, or extension thereof shall be construed to be the centerline of such street, railroad right-of-way, waterway or extension.

(2)

Where the zoning district boundaries are not otherwise indicated and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines, unless the boundaries are otherwise indicated on the map. Within unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines on the zoning district map shall be in accordance with dimensions as designated on the map.

(3)

Where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot in single ownership, the regulations of this chapter for either portion of the lot may, at the owner's discretion, apply to the entire area of the lot or 25 feet beyond the zoning district boundary line, whichever is the lesser distance.

(4)

Questions concerning the exact locations of zoning district boundary lines shall be resolved by the city council.

(Code 2012, § 17.12.030; Ord. of 9-28-1966, § 6(B)(2))

On land hereafter annexed to the city, no structures shall be erected, enlarged, or moved and no change in use of land, or existing structures shall be made until an amendment to this chapter designating the zoning district classification of such annexed land is duly adopted by the city council, provided that, if no such ordinance has been so adopted within 120 days after such land is annexed, the annexed land shall be automatically classified as R1 Single-Family Detached Residential District. The plan commission shall, either before or not later than 60 days after any land is annexed, file in the office of the city clerk an application for an amendment to this chapter establishing zoning district classifications for such land.

(Code 2012, § 17.12.040; Ord. of 9-28-1966, § 6(1))
