The boundaries of the districts are shown upon the map made
a part of this chapter, which map is designated as the "Zoning Map."
The Zoning Map and all the notations, references, and other information
shown thereon are a part of this chapter and have the same force and
effect as if the Zoning Map and all the notations, references, and
other information shown thereon were all fully set forth or described
herein, which Zoning Map is properly attested and is on file with
the Clerk of the City of Hometown, Illinois.
All territory which may hereafter be annexed to the City of
Hometown, Illinois, shall be considered as being in the A Single-Family
Dwelling District until otherwise changed by ordinance.
All streets, alleys, public ways, and railroad rights-of-way,
if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in
the same use district as the property immediately abutting upon such
alleys, streets, public ways, and railroad rights-of-way. Where the
center line of a street, alley, public way or railroad right-of-way
serves as a district boundary, the zoning of such areas, unless otherwise
specifically designated, shall be deemed to be the same as that of
the abutting property up to such center line.
