The boundaries of the zoning districts designated in subsection 6.1 are hereby established as shown on the maps entitled "Official Zoning Map of Olympia Fields, Illinois," revised March 15, 1984, which maps are made a part of this chapter and shall have the same force and effect as if the zoning map, together with all notations, references and other information shown thereon were fully set forth in this chapter.

(Ord. No. 17, as revised 5-11-81, § 6.2, 10-11-71)

State Law reference— Adoption by reference, Ill. Rev. Stat. Ch. 24, ¶ 1-3-1 et seq.

When uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

(1)

District boundary lines are either the centerlines of railroads, highways, streets, alleys or easements or the boundary lines of sections, quarter sections, divisions of sections, tracts or lots, or such lines extended, unless otherwise indicated.

(2)

In areas not subdivided into lots and blocks, wherever a district is indicated as a strip adjacent to and paralleling a street or highway, the depth of such strips shall be in accordance with the dimensions shown on the maps measured at right angles from the centerline of the street or highway, and the length of frontage shall be in accordance with dimensions shown on the maps from section, quarter section, or division lines, or centerlines of streets, highways, or railroad rights-of-way unless otherwise indicated.

(3)

Where a lot held in one (1) ownership and of record on the effective date of the ordinance from which this chapter derives is divided by a district boundary line, the entire lot shall be construed to be within the less restricted district, provided that this construction shall not apply if it increases the less restricted frontage of the lot by more than twenty-five (25) feet.

(Ord. No. 17, as revised 5-11-81, § 6.2, 10-11-71)

All streets, alleys, public ways, waterways and railroad rights-of-way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same zone as the property immediately abutting upon such alleys, streets, public ways or waterways and railroad rights-of-way. Where the centerline of a street, alley, public way, waterway or railroad right-of-way serves as a distinct boundary, the zoning of such areas, unless otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be the same as that of the abutting property up to such centerline.

(Ord. No. 17, as revised 5-11-81, § 6.2, 10-11-71)

(a)

Any area heretofore annexed to the village shall upon such annexation be automatically zoned R-1 One-Family Residence District unless the property has been otherwise zoned after a preannexation zoning hearing as provided in subsection (b).

(b)

Any property owner desiring annexation to the village contingent on a zoning classification other than R-1 Residence District shall submit an annexation petition to the board of trustees conditioning such annexation on obtaining the stipulated zoning. Upon payment of the fee for zoning hearing by the property owner, the board of trustees shall refer the petition to the plan commission for a zoning hearing. Thereafter the same procedure shall be followed as in other zoning hearings requesting a change in zoning district. If the board of trustees does not approve the stipulated zoning, the owner may withdraw the petition to annex, but shall not receive a refund of any fees paid to the village.

(Ord. No. 17, as revised 5-11-81, § 6.3, 10-11-71)
