In order to regulate and limit the use of lot areas and buildings, the erection, restoration and alteration of buildings, and the erection of additions thereto; to classify, regulate, and restrict the location of trades, industries and the location of buildings for specified uses; to regulate and limit the height and bulk of buildings so as to secure adequate light, pure air and safety from fires and other dangers; to conserve the taxable value of lands and buildings throughout the Village; to lessen or avoid congestion in public streets; and to otherwise promote the public health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare, the Village is hereby divided into districts as follows:

 

No building shall be erected or altered nor shall any building or premises be used for any purpose other than is permitted in the district in which said building or premises is located, except as provided in chapter 12 of this title relating to nonconforming uses, and as provided in chapter 14 of this title, relating to special uses.

The boundaries of said districts are as indicated on the Zoning Map of the Village, a copy of which is on file in the Office of the Village Clerk in the Village Hall, and is identified on its face as part of this title, and said Zoning Map, with all notations, references and other matters thereon, is as much a part of this title as if such notations, references and other matters were specifically set forth herein.

In the event uncertainties exist with respect to the intended boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:

   A.   The district boundaries are the center lines of streets unless otherwise indicated, and where the designation of a boundary line on the Zoning Map coincides with the location of a street, the center line of such street shall be construed to be the boundary of such districts.

   B.   Where the district boundaries do not coincide with the location of streets but do coincide with lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary of such districts.

   C.   Where the district boundaries do not coincide with the location of street or lot lines, the district boundaries shall be determined by the use of the scale indicated on the Zoning Map.

Any area annexed to the Village shall be automatically zoned R-1; except, that the Board of Trustees, considering recommendations by the Zoning and Planning Commission may execute a preannexation agreement. The Zoning and Planning Commission shall submit recommendations for the zoning of annexed areas within ninety (90) days after effective date of annexation.
