[R.O. 1993 § 400.060; Ord. No. 250 § A, Art. III, 1-28-1974]
The boundaries of the zoning districts shall be shown upon the Zoning Map, which is part of this Chapter. The Zoning Map shall be located in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Bel-Nor, Missouri. The Zoning Map and all notations, references, and other information shown thereon is set forth or described herein. In interpreting and applying the provisions of this Chapter, they shall be held to the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public safety, health, convenience, comfort, prosperity, or general welfare. It is not intended by this Chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any easements, covenants, or other agreements between parties; provided, however, that where this Chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the uses of buildings or premises or upon heights of buildings, or requires larger open spaces than are imposed or required by other ordinances, rules, regulations, or by easements, covenants, or agreements, the provisions of said other easements, covenants or other agreements shall govern.
[R.O. 1993 § 400.070; Ord. No. 250 § B, Art. III, 1-28-1974]
A. 
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the zoning districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
1. 
The zoning district boundaries shall be streets or alleys unless otherwise shown. Where the districts designated on the map accompanying and made a part of this Chapter are bounded approximately by street or alley lines, the center line of the street or alley shall be construed to be the boundary of the district.
2. 
Where the district boundaries are not otherwise indicated, and where the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and lots, the zoning district boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines. Where the districts designated on the Zoning Map are bounded approximately by lot lines, said lot lines shall be construed to be the boundary of the zoning districts unless the boundaries are otherwise indicated on the Zoning Map.
3. 
In unsubdivided property, the zoning district boundary lines on the Zoning Map accompanying and made a part of this Chapter shall be determined by the use of the scale appearing on the Zoning Map.
[R.O. 1993 § 400.080; Ord. No. 250 § C, Art. III, 1-28-1974; Ord. No. 787 § 1, 7-18-2005]
A. 
When a use is proposed for a zoning district that is not explicitly permitted within the zoning district and which is not addressed in the regulations for any zoning district, the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Aldermen shall determine whether said use is compatible in character with existing uses in that district. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall decide each application on its merits, taking into consideration such factors as existing uses, access, location, major streets, plans, etc. The Planning and Zoning Commission may impose conditions under which a use may be permitted in order to insure compatibility. The finding of a use to be compatible in one location does not mean the same use is compatible at another location, even within the same zoning district. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall transmit its recommendations to the Board of Aldermen, who shall render the final decision on such a petition.
B. 
Because of the nature of certain uses and the secondary effects of those uses, certain land uses are prohibited in all zoning districts within the City of Bel-Nor. Those uses are:
1. 
Check-cashing establishments.
2. 
Short-term loan establishments.
3. 
Pawnbroker establishments.
4. 
Pawnshops.
