[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.
[R.O. 1993 § 400.090; Ord. No.
250 § D, Art. III, 1-28-1974]
All territory which may hereafter be annexed to the City of Bel-Nor, Missouri, shall be classified as and governed by the regulations of the "R-1" Single-Family District. Within a period not to exceed ninety (90) days following the date of annexation, the Planning and Zoning Commission may, if necessary, privately reclassify such territory in accordance with Article
XI of this Chapter.

6.
The minimum yards, parking spaces, and open spaces, including
lot area per family, required by this Chapter for each and every building
existing at the time of passage of this Chapter or for any building
hereafter erected shall not be encroached upon or considered as part
of the yard or parking space or open space required for any other
building, nor shall any lot area be reduced below the requirements
of this Chapter for the zoning district in which such lot is located.

Every building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall
be located on a lot as herein defined and in no case shall there be
more than one (1) main building on one (1) lot, except as specifically
