[1983 Code; amended 12-4-2006]
In order to carry out the purposes and provisions of this chapter,
the Village is hereby divided into the following districts:
[1983 Code]
The locations and boundaries of the districts established herein
are shown upon the Zoning Map, which is hereby incorporated into this
Title. The Zoning Map, together with all notations, references and
other information shown thereon and all amendments thereto, shall
be a part of this Title, and shall have the same force and effect
as if the Zoning Map, together with all notations, references and
other information shown thereon were fully set forth and described
herein.
[1983 Code]
Wherever any uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any use
district as shown on the Zoning Maps incorporated herein, the following
rules shall apply:
A.Â
Where district boundary lines are indicated as following streets,
alleys or similar rights of way, they shall be construed as following
the center lines thereof.
B.Â
Where district boundary lines are indicated as approximately
following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such
boundaries.
C.Â
Where a lot held in one ownership and of record at the effective
date hereof is divided by a district boundary line, the entire lot
shall be construed to be within the less restricted district; provided
that this construction shall not apply if it increases the area of
the less restricted portion of the lot by more than 20%.
[1983 Code; amended 12-4-2006]
All streets, alleys, public ways and railroad rights-of-way,
if not otherwise specifically designated, shall be deemed to be in
the same zone 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.
[1983 Code]
Submerged land heretofore reclaimed or which may be reclaimed
hereafter, and land heretofore annexed or which may be annexed to
the Village hereafter, and which is not shown on the Zoning Map made
a part of this Title, shall be classified in the R, One-Family Dwelling
District, until such time as the Village Board of Trustees designates
the permitted use of the land in accordance with the provisions of
this Title.
[1983 Code]
An area indicated on the Zoning Map as a public park, recreation
area, public school site, cemetery or other similar open space shall
not be used for any other purpose than that designated; and, when
the use of the area is discontinued it shall automatically be zoned
to the most restricted adjoining district until appropriate zoning
is authorized by the Village Board of Trustees, within three months
after the date of application filed for rezoning.
