(a)

The boundaries of the zoning districts hereby established are shown on two maps entitled "Zoning Districts Map - Inside District" and "Zoning Districts Map - Outside District." These maps may be supplemented from time to time by detailed drawings and surveys. All such maps, and such additional detailed drawings and surveys when adopted by the common council, are hereby declared to be a part of this code, together with all explanatory matter appearing thereon. All such maps and changes become official only when signed by the mayor and countersigned by the city clerk as in the case of ordinances.

(b)

This code allows for the establishment of planned developments to be annotated as "PD" on the zoning map. Designation of a planned development on the zoning map is for administrative and reference purposes only and does not indicate a zoning district change. The presence or absence of a planned development on the zoning map does not validate or invalidate an approved planned development.

(Ord. No. 9301A, 9-26-18)

Where uncertainty exists as to the locations of any boundaries shown on the zoning maps, the following rules apply:

(a)

District boundary lines are intended to follow centerlines of alleys or streets, rights-of-way, watercourses or lot lines, or be parallel or perpendicular to these, unless such district boundary lines are fixed by dimensions as shown on the zoning maps.

(b)

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines are construed to be such boundaries.

(c)

In unsubdivided property, or where a district boundary divides a lot, the location of any such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on the zoning map, is determined by the use of the map scale shown thereon.

(d)

If uncertainty exists as to the exact location of a district boundary, the zoning board of appeals will determine and fix the location of a boundary line in a reasonable manner.

(e)

Where a lot is divided by a district boundary line at the time of adoption of said boundary line, the zoning board of appeals may permit the regulations for the less restricted portion of such lot to extend no more than 25 feet into the more restricted portion, provided the lot has frontage on a street in the less restricted district.

(Ord. No. 9301A, 9-26-18)

Any territory annexed into the city is automatically, upon annexation, zoned as the R-1-8 district, unless otherwise provided for in the annexation agreement or until the territory is rezoned.
