except in conformance with all of the regulations specified in this
chapter for the district in which it is located.

shall be included as part of the same requirements for another building
unless expressly permitted.
D. No yard area existing at the effective date of this

minimum requirements set forth herein. Yard areas created after the
effective date of this chapter shall meet the minimum requirements
of this chapter.
E. No lot or parcel existing at the effective date of
this chapter shall be altered in any way except in conformance with
the requirements set forth herein. Lots or parcels created after the

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries
of districts as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules
shall apply:
A. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the
center lines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to
follow such center lines.
B. Boundaries indicated as approximately following lot
lines shall be construed as following such lot lines.
C. Boundaries indicated as approximately following Village
boundaries shall be construed as following such boundaries.
D. Boundaries indicated as approximately following railroad
lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
E. Boundaries indicated as approximately following shorelines
shall be construed as following such shorelines. In the event a shoreline
changes, the boundaries shall be construed as also changing with the
actual shoreline. Boundaries indicated as approximately following
the center line of streams, rivers, drains, canals and other bodies
of water shall be construed as following such center lines.
F. Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in Subsections
A through
E above shall be so construed. Distances not specified on the Official Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the Map.
G. Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the Official Zoning Map, or in other instances not addressed by Subsections
A through
F, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall interpret district boundaries.
Whenever any street, alley or other public right-of-way
is vacated, the land which is vacated, or any portion thereof, shall
be automatically classified in the same zoning district as the property
to which it is attached. Should any portion of the land which is vacated
border different districts, the center of such vacated land area shall
be the dividing line between the districts.
