title by reference.
[1960 Code, Sec. 12.08.022]
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any
of the aforesaid districts as shown on the zoning map, the following
rules shall apply:
(A) All property within the City is under the jurisdiction of this title.
(B) Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following
the centerlines of alleys, streets or highways, street lines or highway
right of way lines, such centerlines, street lines or highway right
of way lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(C) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately
follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be the
boundaries.
(D) Where district boundaries are so indicated that they follow approximately
parallel to the centerline or street lines of streets, or the centerlines
or right of way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall
be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom
as indicated on the zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimension
shall be determined by the use of the scale shown on the zoning map.
(E) Where the boundary of a district follows a railroad line, such boundary
shall be deemed to be located midway between the main tracks of the
railroad line.
(F) In areas not subdivided into lots and blocks, the district boundary
lines shall be determined by scale to the nearest 10 feet.
[1960 Code, Sec. 12.08.023]
(A) Where a lot in a business or industrial district abuts a lot in a
residential district there shall be provided on such abutting side
or rear lot lines a yard equal in width or depth to that required
in a residential district, except in no case shall the yard be less
than 15 feet in depth. Where an industrial or commercial use is established
adjacent to residential properties, there shall be provided along
such adjacent property line an ornamental fence not less than six
feet in height suitable to visibly screen the commercial or industrial
use from the residential area, except, however, no fence shall project
closer to the street than the principal commercial or industrial building.
(B) Where the frontage on one side of a street between two intersecting
streets is zoned partly as residential and partly as business or industrial,
the front yard depth in the business or industrial district shall
be equal to the required front yard depth of the residential district,
provided that the intersecting streets are located not more than 400
feet apart.
(C) Where a zoning district boundary line parallel or approximately parallel
to a street divides a lot having street frontage in the less restricted
zoning district, the provisions of this title covering the less restricted
portion of such lot may extend to the entire lot, but in no case for
a distance of more than 25 feet of such zoning district boundary line.
(D) Where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot and such line
is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the street upon
which the lot fronts, the provision of this title covering the less
or the more restricted portion of such lot may be extended to the
entire lot, but in no case for a distance of more than 25 feet from
such zoning district boundary line.
[1960 Code, Sec. 12.08.024; amended 1975 Code; Ord. 13, 10-7-1974; Ord. 101, 10-15-1979]
No building or land shall hereafter be used and no building
or part thereof shall be erected, moved or altered unless for a use
expressly permitted by and in conformity with the regulations for
the district in which it is located.
(A) Zoning Of Bona Fide Agricultural Uses: Notwithstanding the above, none of the following regulations with the exception of front yard requirements shall be applicable to bona fide agricultural uses as defined in Section
11-2-1 of this title. This shall not be construed, however, as to eliminate the necessity of bona fide agricultural uses from applying for and obtaining the necessary building permit prior to construction, alteration or moving of buildings. No fee, however, shall be required for a building permit for such agricultural uses.
(B) Zoning Of Annexed Areas: All territory which may hereafter be annexed
to the City shall be automatically assigned a zoning classification
most closely corresponding to the Logan County zoning ordinance district
in which it was located before annexation as follows:
Logan County Zoning Ordinance District
|
Changed To Lincoln Zoning Ordinance District
|
---|
Ag, R-1, R-2, R-3, CH
|
R-1
|
R-4
|
R-2

|
C-2
|
M-1
|

|
S-D, M-3
|

Following annexation, the zoning classification may be changed by ordinance according to the amendment procedure as specified in Section
11-2-8 of this title.
(C) Lot Of Record: When a lot which is an official lot of record at the
time of adoption of this title does not comply with the area, yard
or other requirements of this title, an application may be submitted
to the board of appeals for a variance from the terms of this title
in accordance with the procedure outlined in Title 2, Chapter 7 of
this Code. Such a lot may be used as a building site; provided, however,
that the yard and other requirements of the district are complied
with as closely as possible in the opinion of the board of appeals.
A permit for construction may be issued by the zoning officer without
board of appeals action when all other provisions of the ordinance
are met.
(D) Residential Buildings: Only one principal residential building shall
be located, erected, or moved onto any lot or parcel of land, excluding
therefrom dwellings in the R-3 zoning district and multi-family structures
approved as special uses in the R-2 zoning district.
