for said property.
[Ord. No. 11-2I Art. II §2, 8-19-2002]
A. Where
uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts
shown on the Zoning District Map, the following rules shall apply:
1. Where a boundary line is given a position within a street, highway
right-of-way, alley or stream, it shall be deemed to be in the center
of the street, highway right-of-way, alley or stream, and if the actual
location of such street, highway right-of-way, ally or stream varies
slightly from the location as shown on the Zoning District Map, then
the actual location shall control.
2. Where a boundary line is shown as being located a specific distance
from a street line or other physical feature, this distance shall
control.
3. Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated and where
the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and
lots, such boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines and where
the districts are bounded approximately by lot lines, said lot lines
shall be construed to be the boundary of such districts unless said
boundaries are otherwise indicated on the map.
4. In unsubdivided property, unless otherwise indicated, the district
boundary line shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on
the Zoning District Map.
B. Whenever
any street, alley, public way, railroad right-of-way, waterway or
other similar area is vacated by proper authority, the districts adjoining
each side of such street, alley, public way, railroad right-of-way
or similar area shall be extended automatically to the center of such
vacation and all area included in the vacation shall then and thenceforth
be subject to all appropriate regulations of the extended districts.
In the event of a partial vacation, the adjoining district, or district
nearest the portion vacated, shall be extended automatically to include
all the vacated area.
[Ord. No. 11-2I Art. II §3, 8-19-2002]
A. Except
as hereinafter provided:
1. No building or land shall be used or occupied and no building or
part thereof shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed,
moved or altered unless it is in conformity with the regulations specified
for the district in which it is located.
2. No building shall be erected or altered:
b. To accommodate or house a greater number of families;
c. To occupy a greater percentage of lot area; or
d. To have a narrower or smaller rear yard, front yard, side yard, inner
or outer court than is specified for the district in which such building
is to be located.
3. No part of a yard or other open space about any building required for the purpose of complying with the provisions of the standards in this Chapter shall be included as a part of a yard or other open space similarly required for another building, except as provided by Subsection
(4) of this Section.
4. Whenever a property owner owns two (2) adjoining platted lots and
wishes to build on said lots, one (1) of the following three (3) procedures
will be adhered to:
a. A property owner may build across the interior lot line, provided
all other setback and yard requirements are met and, provided further,
that said building would not interfere with any City utility or easement.
b. If said property owner does not build across the interior line of
said lots, all yard requirements as defined in this Chapter shall
be met; and the remaining adjoining lot may not be considered for
the purpose of meeting the said yard requirements as defined in this
Chapter.
c. Should said owner wish to utilize both of said lots, without complying
with the above provisions, said property owner must file an application
to replat said lots so as to incorporate the two (2) lots into one
(1) lot as required by the City's Subdivision Code.
5. Every building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall be
located on a lot of record as herein defined and in no case shall
there be more than one (1) main building on one (1) lot unless otherwise
provided in this Chapter.
6. Lots intended for the sole purpose of constructing City owned electric,
sewer, water, storm water, or other utility infrastructure shall not
be required to comply with the use restrictions of Table B: Minimum
Lot Requirements, Table C: Maximum Heights, Table D: Yards/Setbacks,
or Table E: Maximum Lot Coverage.
