(Ord. 740, 4-7-1970; amd. Ord. 1076, 6-15-1993; Ord. 2018-1571, 10-16-2018)

The locations and boundaries of the districts herein established are shown upon the map entitled "Village of Peoria Heights zoning map 1970" which, with all notations thereon, is hereby made a part of this title. (Ord. 740, 4-7-1970)

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

   A.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

   B.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following recorded lot lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.

   C.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following Village limits shall be construed as following such Village limits.

   D.   Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.

   E.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes, or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

   F.   Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections A through E of this section shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.

   G.   Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map or in other circumstances not covered by subsections A through F of this section, the Board shall interpret the district boundaries. (Ord. 740, 4-7-1970)

All streets, alleys, public ways, and railroad rights-of-way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same zone as the property immediately abutting. Where the centerline of a street, alley, public way or railroad right-of-way serves as a district boundary, the zoning of such areas, when otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be the same as that of the abutting property up to such centerline. (Ord. 740, 4-7-1970)

Submerged land, any submerged land which may be reclaimed, and land which may be annexed to the Village shall be classified as C Conservation until such time as the Village Board changes the classification in accordance with provisions of this title. (Ord. 740, 4-7-1970)
