Zoning Map. The locations and boundaries of the districts established herein are shown on the Zoning Map which is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this ordinance.

3.2

Zoning of new or annexed land. Prior to the annexation of any territory to the Village of Steger, a plan for zoning the area to be annexed shall be forwarded to the village board of trustees by the plan commission.

3.3

Zoning of streets, alleys, public-ways and railroad rights-of-way. All streets, alleys, public-ways and railroad rights-of-way, if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in the same use district as the property immediately abutting upon such alleys, streets, public-ways and railroad rights-of-way. Where the center line of a street, alley, public-way or railroad right-of-way services as a district boundary, the zoning of such areas, unless otherwise specifically designated shall be deemed to be the same as that of the abutting property up to such center line.

Boundary lines. Wherever any uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any use district as shown on the Zoning District Map incorporated herein, the following rules are suggested:

3.4-1

Where district boundary lines are indicated as following streets, alleys or similar rights-of-way, they shall be construed as following the center lines thereof.

3.4-2

Where district boundary lines are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

3.4-3

Where a lot held in one ownership and of record after the proposed ordinance is adopted, is divided by a district boundary line, the entire lot shall be construed to be within the less restricted district, provided that this construction shall not apply if it increases the area of the less restricted portion of the lot by more than 20 percent.
