The zoning regulations and districts herein set forth and as outlined upon the map made a part of this chapter by §
200-3 are made to supersede the zoning regulations and map adopted by the Village on the sixth day of September, 1955, and all amendments thereto, and in accordance with a Comprehensive Plan for the purpose of promoting the public health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and general welfare of the community. They have been designed to lessen congestion in the streets, to secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers, to provide adequate light and air, to prevent the overcrowding of land, to avoid undue concentration of population and to facilitate the adequate provisions of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements. They have been made with reasonable consideration, among other things, as to the character of each district and its suitability for particular uses, and with a view of conserving the value of the buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of the land throughout the Village.

The boundaries of these districts are hereby established on

Where a district boundary line, as appearing on the Zoning Map,
divides a lot or land in a single ownership as existing at the time
of this enactment, the use authorized on the district requirements
applying to the less restricted portion of the property shall be construed
as extending into the remaining portion of the property beyond the
district boundary lines for a distance not exceeding 35 feet. Otherwise, unless shown to the contrary on the Zoning
Map, the boundary lines of districts are the center lines of streets
and alleys, or such lines extended, railroad right-of-way lines, the
center lines of creeks and waterways and the corporate limits line
as it existed at the time of the enactment of this chapter.
