No. 94-06]
The boundaries of the districts listed in §
86-31 are hereby established as shown on the zoning districts map, which accompanies the ordinance from which this chapter is derived, and which map, with all notations, references and other information shown thereon, shall be as much a part of this chapter as if fully described in this chapter.
[Amended 6-6-1994 by Ord.
No. 94-06]
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the
various districts as shown on the zoning districts 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 as following such lot lines.
(3) Boundaries indicated as approximately following corporate limits
shall be construed as following corporate limits.
(4) Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed
to be the midway between the main tracks.
(5) Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to
follow such shorelines, and in the event of change in the shoreline
shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline. Boundaries
indicated as approximately following the centerline of streams, rivers,
canals or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such
centerlines.
(6) Boundaries indicated as parallel to or extensions of features indicated in Subsections
(1) through
(5) of this section shall be so construed. Distances not specifically indicated on the official zoning map shall be determined by the scale of the map.
(7) Where physical or natural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning map, or in other circumstances not covered by Subsections
(1) through
(6) of this section, the Board of Appeals shall interpret the district boundaries.
(8) Insofar as some or all of the various districts may be indicated
on the zoning map by patterns which, for the sake of map clarity,
do not cover public rights-of-way, it is intended that such district
boundaries do extend to the center of any public right-of-way.
[Amended 6-6-1994 by Ord.
No. 94-06]
Whenever any street, alley or other public way within the City
shall be vacated, such street, alley or other public way, or portion
thereof, shall automatically be classified in the same zoning district
as the property to which it attaches.
[Amended 6-6-1994 by Ord.
No. 94-06; 11-7-2005 by Ord. No. 05-02]
(a) Whenever any area is annexed to the City, it shall immediately upon such annexation be automatically classified as being in whichever zoning district most clearly conforms with the zoning that existed prior to annexation. Such interim zoning shall only be in effect until rezoning pursuant to Subsection
(b) hereof is completed.
(b) The Planning Commission shall, within 90 days after the territory
is annexed, review and recommend to the City Council the appropriate
zoning of the territory, with consideration being given to the existing
land use and land use policies of the City comprehensive plan. The
City Council, upon the acceptance of the Planning Commission's recommendation,
will cause the current zoning map of the City to automatically reflect
such zoning on the annexed area.

development and in formulating the contract, matters typically governed
by zoning must be considered and zoning classifications are permissible
for inclusion in any such 1984 PA 425 contract.
(2) Pursuant to 1984 PA 425, a territory by contract that comes under
the jurisdiction of the City of Corunna for zoning purposes shall,
for its initial zoning district classifications, be zoned as specifically
provided in the contract.
(3) If a territory for zoning purposes comes under the jurisdiction of the City of Corunna under a 1984 PA 425 contract that does not specifically provide for the initial zoning classifications, it shall be zoned in the same manner as annexed territory as provided in §
