(Ord. No. 661, § 1, 3-7-22)

The Official Zoning Map for the City of Salem, on record with the finance officer, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this ordinance.

Changes to or replacement of the official zoning map shall require amendment of these regulations by ordinance, as provided for in [section] 17.01 of these regulations.

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

A.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines or city limits shall be interpreted to follow such platted lot lines or municipal limits;

B.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following railroad lines shall be interpreted to be midway between the main tracks;

C.

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streets or other rights-of-way, or streams or other bodies of water, shall be interpreted to follow such center lines;

D.

Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map. Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map, the board of adjustment, as established in chapter 16, shall interpret the district boundaries;

E.

Where a district boundary line divides a lot which was in single ownership at the time of passage of this ordinance, the board of adjustment may permit, as a conditional use permit the extension of the regulations for either portion of the lot into the remaining portion of the lot.

In all territories which may hereafter be annexed to the city, the zoning districts as they exist in McCook County shall be continued until otherwise changed by ordinance.
