The city is hereby divided into the following districts:

(Ord. No. 123, § 3.0, 6-5-89; Ord. No. 205, § 6, 5-15-06; Ord. No. 225, § 2, 2-1-10)

(a)

The areas and boundaries of such districts noted in section 20-36 are hereby established to scale as shown on a map entitled Zoning Map of the City of Wayland, and referred to herein as the "zoning map." The zoning map, together with everything shown thereon, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of the chapter.

(b)

Regardless of the existence of copies of the zoning map which may be made or published, the official zoning map shall be located at the city hall and shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status in the city. No amendment to this chapter which involves a change of a mapped zoning district shall become effective until such change and entry has been made on the official zoning map. The official zoning map shall be identified by the signature of the mayor, and attested by the city clerk.

(Ord. No. 123, § 3.1, 6-5-89)

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

(1)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerlines.

(2)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed to follow such lot lines.

(3)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following city boundaries shall be construed to follow city boundaries.

(4)

Boundaries indicated as approximately following property lines, section lines or other lines of a survey shall be construed to follow such charted lines as of the effective date of this chapter, or affecting amendment.

(5)

Boundaries indicated as following railroads lines shall be construed to follow the centerline of the railroad right-of-way.

(6)

Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in subsections (1) through (5) of this section shall be interpreted by the building inspector. Upon appeal, the board of zoning appeals reserves the right to override the interpretation of the building inspector.

(Ord. No. 123, § 3.2, 6-5-89)

When property not now in the city shall become annexed to the city, the existing zoning shall be retained for one (1) year or until the planning commission shall have reviewed and recommended rezoning to the city council and the city acts upon the recommendation.

(Ord. No. 123, § 3.3, 6-5-89)
