1. The zoning map of the village, together with all explanatory matters thereon, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter.
2. Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the zoning map, which may from time to time be made or published, the zoning map, which shall be located in the office of the village clerk, shall be the final authority as to the current status of zoning in the village.
3. If the zoning map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret because of the nature or number of changes and additions, the village council may, by resolution, adopt a new zoning map. The new zoning map may correct drafting or other errors or omissions in the prior zoning map, but no such corrections shall have the effect of amending the original zoning map or any subsequent amendment thereof. The new official zoning map shall be identified by the signature of the village president attested by the village clerk and bearing the seal of the village under the following words: "This is to certify that this Official Zoning Map supersedes and replaces the Official Zoning Map adopted (date of adoption of the map being replaced) as part of Ordinance Number 481 of the Village of Romeo, Michigan."
4. Unless the prior zoning map has been lost or has been totally destroyed, the prior map or any significant parts thereof remaining shall be preserved, together with all available records pertaining to its adoption or amendment.

For the purpose of this chapter, the village is hereby divided into the following districts:

(Ord. No. 482, § 8.01, 7-17-2000)

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

1. Unless shown otherwise, the boundaries of the districts are: lot lines; the centerlines of streets, alleys, roads or such lines extended; railroad right-of-way lines; and the village limits. Dimensions shown are to the center of the adjacent road or street or alley.
2. Where, due to the scale, lack of detail or illegibility of the zoning map for this chapter, there is any uncertainty or contradiction as to the location of any district boundaries shown thereon, interpretation concerning the exact location of district boundary lines shall be determined, upon written application or upon its own motion, by the zoning board of appeals. The zoning board of appeals, in arriving at a decision on these matters, shall apply the following standards:
   1. The district boundaries, as set forth in this section, shall first be considered with reference to the standards cited in subsection (a) of this section.
   2. Where a district boundary divides a site, the location of any such boundary, unless the site is indicated by dimensions shown on the map, shall be determined by the use of the map scale shown thereon.
   3. If, after the application of the standards in subsections (b)(1). and (b)(2). of this section, uncertainty, contradiction or dispute remains as to the exact location of a district boundary, the zoning board of appeals shall determine and fix the location of the boundary line as all of the facts and circumstances shall reasonably require.

1. The MHP mobile home park district is designed to permit the development of residential neighborhoods in planned mobile home park settings. The regulations contained in this division recognize the unique physical characteristics of mobile home park communities and the regulation of these developments by the state.

Unlike the typical single-family subdivision in which the individual lot provides the open space and amenities necessary for family living, mobile home parks more closely resemble multiple-family development. Mobile home parks are constructed, managed and regulated by the developer. Streets, utilities, recreation areas and amenities are also similarly under the control of the developer. As a result of these similarities, mobile home parks should be designed to provide adequate space and land use separation consistent with their land use intensity relative to the village's other residential zoning districts. The rules and regulations, as promulgated by the state mobile home commission, shall be applicable to the development of mobile home parks in the village, except as modified by this division.

Accessory commercial uses may be conducted in a mobile home park in separate, permanent structures, and for such purposes as the office of the manager, laundry and dry cleaning facilities, or other services primarily for the residents of the park. Adequate parking for such services shall be provided.
4. One sign identifying the premises and use and containing not more than 24 square feet in area and six feet in height for identification, without additional advertising, may be placed at the main entrance of the mobile home park. One sign, no larger than ten square feet, limited to the same information as shown on the entrance sign, may be erected at any secondary entrance to a mobile home park which adjoins a public road. The identification sign shall be part of a permanent decorative entranceway which shall be compatible with the surrounding areas. All signs shall observe the setback requirements cited in section 46-578.

   3. On-site detached storage sheds shall be a minimum of three unobstructed feet from the mobile home that it serves, unless the sidewall adjacent to the mobile home is lined with a class A fire resistant material.
   4. Any part or structure, such as steps, porches, supported or unsupported awnings, decks, carports, garages or similar structures, that is part of a mobile home shall observe the following minimum setbacks:

In accordance with sections 11, 12 and 13 of the mobile home commission act, Public Act No. 96 of 1987 (MCL 125.2311, 125.2312, 125.2313), a person desiring to develop a mobile home park shall submit a preliminary plan to the planning commission for review and approval.
