If, in accordance with the procedures of this chapter and of
Public Act 110 of 2006, as amended, a change is made in a zoning district boundary, such change
shall be made by the Township Board with the assistance of the Zoning
Administrator promptly after the ordinance authorizing such change
shall have been adopted and published by the Township Board. Other
changes in the Zoning Map may only be made as authorized by this chapter
and such changes, as approved, shall also be promptly made by the
Township Board with the assistance of the Zoning Administrator.
Regardless of the existence of other copies of the Official
Zoning Map which may from time to time be made or published, the Official
Zoning Map, which shall be located in the office of the Township Planning
Department, shall be the final authority as to the current zoning
status of any land, parcel, lot, district, use, building or structure
in the Township.
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of zoning districts
as shown on the Official Zoning Map, the following rules for interpretation
shall apply:
A. A boundary indicated as approximately following the center line of
a highway, road, alley, railroad or easement shall be construed as
following such center line.
B. A boundary indicated as approximately following a recorded lot line,
a boundary of a parcel, section line, quarter section line, or other
survey line shall be construed as following such line.
C. A boundary indicated as approximately following the corporate boundary
line of the Township shall be construed as following such line.
D. A boundary indicated as following a shoreline shall be construed
as following such shoreline, and in the event of change in a shoreline,
shall be construed as following the actual shoreline.
E. A boundary indicated as following the center line of a stream, river,
canal, lake or other body of water shall be construed as following
such center line.
F. A boundary indicated as parallel to or an extension of a feature indicated in Subsections
A through
E above shall be so construed.
G. A distance not specifically indicated on the Official Zoning Map
shall be determined by the scale of the map.
H. All questions concerning the exact location of boundary lines of
any zoning district not clearly shown on the Official Zoning Map shall
be determined by the Zoning Board of Appeals consistent with the intent
and purpose of this chapter.
