Article 02
Zoning Districts and Map
Section 02.03 District Boundaries Interpreted
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various districts as shown on the Zoning Map,
the following rules shall apply:
(a) When the exact boundaries of a district are uncertain, they shall be determined by use of the scale on the
Zoning Maps.
(b) Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways, or alleys, shall be
construed to follow the centerlines.
(c) Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines shall be construed as following the lot
lines.
(d) Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be the midway between the main
tracks.
(e) Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow the shoreline, and in the event
of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline; boundaries indicated as
approximately following the centerline of streams, rivers, canals, lakes or other bodies of water shall be
construed to follow the centerline. Any use or structures extending into or over a lake or other water
body shall be subject to the same zoning restrictions as the adjoining land.
(f) When a right-of-way is vacated, the districts adjoining each side are respectively extended to the center
of the area so vacated.
Section 02.04 Zoning of Vacated Lands
Zoning of vacated areas means whenever any road, alley or other public way shall be vacated, the road, alley
or other public way or portion thereof shall automatically be classified in the same zone district as the
property to which it attaches.
Section 02.05 Annexed Land
Where land within the county is annexed to one of the cities it shall retain its existing zoning until such time
as the city takes action to rezone the land to another district.
Section 02.06 District Use Regulations
Each zoning district article includes a schedule of permitted uses indicating uses that are permitted by right,
and allowed by special exception. A use that is not listed as permitted or special exception in a district shall
not be permitted in that district. Appendix A provides a combined schedule of permitted uses for all districts.
A use that is not listed in any zoning district may be permitted upon determination by the enforcement
official that the use is clearly similar in nature and compatible with a use that is listed in a particular district.
In making this determination, the enforcement official shall consider the following:
(a) The enforcement official shall consider specific characteristics of the proposed use and compare them to
the characteristics of the uses that are listed in the zoning ordinance. Characteristics considered shall
include, but are not limited to, traffic generation, types of services offered, types of goods produced,
methods of operation, noise, hours of operation and building characteristics.
(b) If the enforcement official determines that the proposed use is consistent and compatible with a
permitted use, the use shall be permitted under that use category. If the enforcement official determines
that the proposed use is consistent and compatible with a special exception use, the use shall be allowed
with special exception approval. The use shall be subject to all requirements of the similar use.

Zoning Districts and Map
Article 02
(c) A proposed use shall not be permitted in a district where the use is specifically listed in any other district,
as shown in Appendix A, or where the enforcement official determines that the use is more similar in
nature and compatible with uses listed in another district.
(d) The use determination of the enforcement official may be appealed to the board of zoning appeals for an
interpretation of the use provisions of the zoning ordinance.
(e) In the case of the airport overlay district, the enforcement official is the controlling entity of the
underlying airport.
