ARTICLE III

ZONING DISTRICTS

Sec. 301.- Establishment of districts.

For the purpose of this Ordinance, the City of Norway is divided into the following zoning districts, which shall be known by the following respective symbols and names:

R-1 Residential One District
R-2 Residential Two District
RR Rural Residential District
RP Resource Production District
B-1 Essential Business District
B-2 Central Business District
B-3 General Business District
B-4 Large Scale Business District

Sec. 302. - Zoning district map.

A.

The boundaries of the respective districts enumerated in section 301 are established as depicted on the map entitled "City of Norway Official Zoning Map," which is an integral part of this Ordinance. This map, along with all notations and explanatory matter, shall become as much a part of this Ordinance as if fully described herein.

B.

The City of Norway Official Zoning Map shall be identified by the signature of the mayor, attested by the city clerk. If, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance, changes are made in district boundaries, such changes shall be incorporated on the City of Norway Official Zoning Map and approved by the city council with an entry on the City of Norway Official Zoning Map showing the date and official action taken.

C.

One copy of the City of Norway Official Zoning Map is to be maintained and kept up-to-date by the zoning administrator, accessible to the public and shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of properties in the City of Norway.

Sec. 303. - Interpretation of the zoning map.

A.

Where due to the scale, lack of detail or illegibility of the zoning maps, there is any uncertainty, contradiction or conflict as to the intended location of any zoning district boundary as shown thereon; the zoning board of appeals shall make an interpretation of said map upon request of any person. The zoning board of appeals shall apply the following standards in interpreting the zoning map:

1.

Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow lot lines, or be parallel or perpendicular to, or along the center lines of alleys, streets, rights-of-way or water courses, unless such boundary lines are fixed by dimensions shown on the zoning map.

2.

Where zoning district boundary lines are indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundary lines.

3.

Where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot, the location of any such zoning district boundary lines, unless indicated by dimensions shown on the zoning map, shall be determined by the use of the map scale shown thereon.

B.

If, after the application of the foregoing rules, uncertainty still exists as to the exact location of a zoning district boundary line, the boundary line shall be determined in a reasonable manner, considering the history of uses of property and the history of zoning ordinances and amendments in the City of Norway as well as all other relevant facts.

Sec. 304. - Replacement of official zoning map.

In the event the official zoning map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret because of the nature or number of changes made by the city council may adopt a new official zoning map which shall supersede the prior official zoning map. The official zoning map shall bear the current city officers' signatures and certification as required in section 302. Unless the official zoning map has been lost, or has been totally destroyed, the prior map or any significant parts thereof remaining shall be preserved together with all available records pertaining to its adoption or amendment.

Sec. 305. - Application of district regulations.

The regulations established for 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 or buildings and structures throughout each district. Where there are practical difficulties in the way of carrying out the strict letter of this Ordinance, the zoning board of appeals shall have power in passing upon appeals, in accordance with article XV, to vary or modify regulations and provisions of this Ordinance so that the intent and purposes of this Ordinance shall be observed, public safety secured and substantial justice done.

Sec. 306. - Scope of provisions.

A.

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Ordinance, every building and structure erected, every use of any lot, building or structure established, every structural alteration or relocation of an existing building or structure occurring, and every enlargement of or addition to an existing use, building or structure occurring after the effective date of this Ordinance shall be subject to all regulations of this Ordinance which are applicable in the zoning district in which such use, building, or structure shall be located.

B.

Uses are permitted by right only if specifically listed as uses permitted by right in the various zoning districts. Where not specifically permitted, either by right or conditionally, uses are prohibited unless construed to be similar to an expressly permitted use. The planning commission shall determine if a use is similar to a use specifically permitted by right or by conditions.

C.

Accessory uses are permitted as indicated for the various zoning districts and are clearly incidental to the permitted principal uses.

D.

The uses permitted as conditional uses are recognized as possessing characteristics of such unique and special nature (relative to location, design, size, etc.) as necessitating individual standards and conditions in order to safeguard the general health, safety and welfare of the community.

E.

Any structure, use of a structure or land use and any lot, the size, width, or other characteristic of which fails to meet the requirements of the land use district in which it is located and which was lawfully established in accordance with state and local statutes ("of record") prior to the effective date of this amendment shall be considered a legal nonconforming use.

F.

Structures or uses which were lawful prior to the adoption of this Ordinance existing on non-conforming lots may be used for any of the permitted uses in the districts in which they are located providing all other requirements of this Ordinance are met.

G.

No vested right shall arise to the property owner for any parcel or use created in violation of any preceding City of Norway Zoning Ordinance.

Sec. 307. - Conflicting regulations.

Wherever any provision of this Ordinance imposes more stringent requirements, regulations, restrictions or limitations than those imposed or required by the provisions of any other law or ordinance, then the provisions of this Ordinance shall govern. Whenever the provisions of any other law or ordinance impose more stringent requirements than are imposed or required by this Ordinance, then the provisions of such law or ordinance shall govern.

A.

The location of pipes, wires, poles, and transmission equipment of public utilities or railroad tracks regulated by the State of Michigan or by the United States are exempt from regulation under this Ordinance.
