Residence 1 | R-1 |
Commercial Overlay (R-1) | RC-1 |
Residence 2 | R-2 |
Commercial Overlay (R-2) | RC-2 |
Central Commercial | C-1 |

§ 200-10 District relationships.
No ranking or hierarchy is intended among districts; for example, a residential district is not necessarily considered a higher type of district than a commercial district. Each district is designed to provide optimum conditions for the intended uses. Uses permitted in a residential district are, therefore, not automatically permitted in a commercial district, nor are commercial uses necessarily permitted in an industrial district. For convenience, and where applicable, uses may be permitted by reference when they are identical in several districts.
§ 200-11 Zoning District Map.
A.
Establishment. The locations of the districts enumerated in preceding § 200-9, and the boundaries of such districts, are hereby established as shown upon the map which is attached hereto and made a part of this chapter, being designated as the “Zoning District Map.” The said Map and all the notations, references and other information shown thereon shall be as much a part of this chapter as if the matters and information set forth by said Map were all fully described herein.[1]

Editor’s Note: The current Zoning District Map is on file in the office of the Village Clerk.
B.
Boundary determination. The boundaries of districts shall be as shown by heavy solid lines on the Zoning District Map. Where uncertainty exists as to any of said boundaries as shown on said Map, the following rules shall apply:
(1)
Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets, alleys, railroads, streams or canals, such center lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(2)
Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following the boundary lines of parks or reservations, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(3)
Where such boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(4)
In unsubdivided land and where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the Map, shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing thereon.
