(Ord. No. 2494, § II, 7-1-2024)

The boundaries of the districts designated by section 19.04.010 are established as shown on the map entitled "Prairie Village, Kansas, Zoning District Map" adopted by Ordinance No. 1688 on September 18, 1989, as amended by all annexations subsequent to the adoption of said map including zoning amendments from time to time adopted by due process of law. Said map, as amended from time to time, will be on file in the Office of the City Clerk.

Platted lot and block lines are shown on the maps mentioned in section 19.04.010. When definite distances are not shown on said map, the district boundaries are intended to be along existing street, alley or platted lot lines, or extensions of the same. If the exact location of such lines is not clear, it shall be determined by the building official, subject upon appeal to review by the board of zoning appeals, due consideration being given to location as indicated by the scale of the zoning map. Where, on account of any vacation proceeding or for any other cause, the streets, alleys or pedestrian ways differ from the streets, alleys or pedestrian ways as shown on the zoning map, the board of zoning appeals may apply the district designations on the map to the streets, alleys or pedestrian ways on the ground in such manner as to conform to the intent and purpose of this chapter.

When any street, alley or pedestrian way is vacated, the district classification for property contiguous thereto shall automatically be extended to the centerline of any such vacated street or alley.

All territory, which may hereinafter be annexed to the city, shall automatically be classed as lying and being in District R-1a until such classification shall have been changed by an amendment to this title, as provided by law.

No buildings or structures shall be erected, moved, altered, enlarged or used nor shall any land be used in said districts for other than one of the authorized uses in the district in which the building or land is located.
