A.

Location of Districts.

1.

The location and boundaries of the zoning districts established by this title are set forth in the official zoning map, as periodically amended. The official zoning map is incorporated into, and made an integral part of, this title.

2.

It is the intent of this title that the entire area of the village, including all land and water areas, be included in the zoning districts established by this title. Any land lying within the village, but not shown on the official zoning map as being included within a district, shall be classified as the R-1 Single-Family Residential District.

B.

Interpretation of Boundary Lines.

1.

Right-of-Way Lines. Where zoning district boundary lines coincide with streets, alleys, highways, easements, or right-of-way lines of railroads, toll roads or expressways, the boundary line shall be construed to be the centerline of the right-of-way.

2.

Property Lines. Where zoning district boundary lines coincide with a recorded property line, the property line shall be construed to be the boundary line of the district.

3.

Scaled Lines. Where the district boundary lines do not coincide with a right-of-way line or recorded property line, the district boundary shall be determined by measuring such boundary line(s) by using the map scale as provided on the official zoning map.

4.

Clarification of Boundary Lines. The planning and zoning commission shall decide all interpretations of zoning district boundary lines, where the application of subsections (B)(1) through (B)(3) above leaves doubt as to the boundary between two zoning districts.

(Ord. No. 12-09-39, § 2(6.3), 9-24-12)

Any territory annexed into the village shall automatically, upon annexation, be classified as R-1 Single-Family Residential District. That land shall be subject to the requirements of the R-1 Single-Family Residential District, unless otherwise provided for in the annexation agreement or until the territory is rezoned.

(Ord. No. 12-09-39, § 2(6.4), 9-24-12)
