For the purposes of this ordinance, the village is hereby divided into the following zoning districts:

Boundaries of these districts are hereby established as shown on the map entitled "Zoning Map, Village of Walnut, Illinois," dated May 6, 1968, and is a part of this ordinance. Such boundaries shall be construed to follow: corporate limits; U.S. Public Land Survey lines; lot or property lines; centerlines of streets, highways, alleys, easements, and railroad rights-of-way, or such lines extended; soil mapping unit lines; unless otherwise noted on the zoning map.

Vacation of public streets and alleys shall cause the land vacated to be automatically placed in the same district as the abutting side to which the vacated land reverts.

Annexations to or consolidations with the village subsequent to the effective date of this ordinance shall be placed in the most restrictive zoning district unless the annexation ordinance places the land in another district. Within one year the village planning commission shall evaluate and recommend a permanent district classification to the village board.

A certified copy of the zoning map shall be adopted and approved with the text as part of this ordinance and shall bear upon its face the attestation of the village president and village clerk and shall be available to the public in the office of the village clerk. The village board shall cause to be published no later than March 31 of each year a revised zoning map clearly showing the zoning division classifications of the municipality for the preceding calendar year. If in any calendar year after the first zoning map is published there are no changes in zoning division classification, no zoning map shall be published for such calendar year.
