Zone boundary lines are intended to be parallel or perpendicular to street, alley, or lot lines, unless such zone boundary lines are fixed by dimensions, as shown on the Zoning Map on file at the office of the Village Manager.

Where zone boundaries are indicated as approximately following street or alley lines or proposed street lines, such lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.

Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines and are not more than 25 feet distant therefrom, such lot lines shall be such boundaries.

In unsubdivided property or where a zone boundary divides a lot, the location of any such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions shown on such maps, or described in the text of the ordinance, shall be determined by the use of the map scale shown thereon, and scaled to the nearest foot.

If all or any portion of any public street, alley, right-of-way, easement or land which is not included in any zone shall ever revert to or come into private ownership or shall ever be used for any purpose other than a public purpose, such land shall be subject to the provisions of this section which apply within the zone immediately adjacent; zones, if there is more than one.

For the purpose of this chapter the Village is hereby divided into the following zoning districts:

The location and boundaries of the zones established in the Village shall be shown on the map entitled "Zoning Map of the Village of Vicksburg," and as such map may be amended subsequent to the adoption thereof; and such map, section, or portion thereof, together with all notations, dimensions and other data shown thereon, are hereby made a part of this chapter to the same extent as the information set forth on the map more fully described and incorporated in this section. Zoning districts, which are approved and described in the text, may not necessarily appear on the Zoning Map and as such shall be known as "floating districts." Therefore, any person, group of persons, corporation, or agency may request a rezoning under these districts. The approval of these requests are at the discretion of the Planning Commission and Village Council.

The official copy of the Zoning Map shall be in the custody of the Village Manager.
