[CC 2001 §405.060; Ord. No. 856 §12.03(2), 6-11-1987]
The boundaries of the districts are shown upon the map which
is on file in the City offices and made a part of this Chapter, which
map is designated as the "Zoning Map". The district map and all the
notations, references and other information shown thereon are a part
of this Chapter and have the same force and effect as if the district
map and all the notations, references and other information shown
thereon were fully set forth or described herein in its entirety,
which district map is properly attested and is on file with the Clerk
of the City of Edmundson, St. Louis County, Missouri.
[CC 2001 §405.070; Ord. No. 856 §12.03(3), 6-11-1987]
If, in accordance with procedures of this code and of Chapter
89, RSMo., as amended, a change is made in a zoning district boundary,
such change shall be made by the Mayor of the Board or his/her designee
promptly after the code authorizing such change shall have been adopted
by the Board of Aldermen and published, with an entry on the official
Zoning Map.
[CC 2001 §405.080; Ord. No. 856 §12.03(4), 6-11-1987]
The official Zoning Map shall be located in City Hall and shall
be available to public inspection and shall be with the revised code
the final authority as to the current zoning status of any land, parcel,
lot, district, use, building or structure in the City.
[CC 2001 §405.090; Ord. No. 856 §12.03(5), 6-11-1987]
In the event that the official Zoning Map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret because of the nature or number of changes made thereto, the Board of Aldermen may, by ordinance, adopt a new official Zoning Map which shall supersede the prior official Zoning Map. The new official Zoning Map may correct drafting or other errors or omissions on the prior official Zoning Map, but no such correction shall have the effect of amending the Zoning Code or the prior official Zoning Map. The new official Zoning Map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor of the Board of Aldermen, attested by the City Clerk, and bear the following words: "This is to certify that this is the official Zoning Map referred to in the Zoning Code Ordinance Number 856, Sections 405.060 or 405.070 of this code, adopted on June 11, 1987; this map replaces and supersedes the previous official Zoning Map." Unless the prior official Zoning Map has been lost or has been totally destroyed, the prior map or any significant parts thereof remaining shall be preserved together with all available records pertaining to its adoption or amendment.
[CC 2001 §405.100; Ord. No. 856 §12.03(6), 6-11-1987]
A.
The
Board of Adjustment shall interpret the provisions of this code as
they pertain to the location of district boundaries where uncertainty
exists as to the location of the district boundaries in relation to
the official Zoning Map. The following rules for interpretation shall
apply:
1.
A boundary indicated as approximately following the centerline of
a highway, street, alley or easement shall be construed as following
such centerline.
2.
A boundary indicated as approximately following a recorded lot line
or the line bounding a parcel shall be construed as following such
line.
3.
A boundary indicated as approximately following the corporate boundary
line of a City, Village, or township shall be construed as following
such line.
4.
A boundary indicated as following a railroad line shall be construed
as being midway between the main tracks.
5.
A boundary indicated as following a shoreline shall be construed
as following such shoreline, and in the event of change in a shoreline
shall be construed as following the actual shoreline.
6.
A boundary indicated as following the centerline of a stream, river,
canal, lake, or other body of water shall be construed as following
such centerline.
7.
A distance not specifically indicated on the official Zoning Map
shall be determined by the scale of the map.
8.
Where the physical or cultural feature existing on the ground is
at variance with that shown on the official Zoning Map, or in any
other circumstance not covered by paragraphs (1) through (7) above,
the Board of Adjustment shall interpret the zoning district boundary.
9.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot which is in single ownership
at the time of adoption of this code, the Board of Adjustment may
permit the extension of the regulations for either portion of the
lot to the nearest lot line, but not to exceed fifty (50) feet beyond
the district line into the remaining portion of the lot.
[CC 2001 §405.110; Ord. No. 856 §12.03(7), 6-11-1987]
The regulations established by this code within each zoning
district shall be minimum regulations for promoting and protecting
the public health, safety and general welfare and shall be uniform
for each class of land or building, dwellings and structures throughout
each district. Where there are practical difficulties or unnecessary
hardship in the way of carrying out the strict letter of this code,
the Board of Adjustment shall have power in passing upon appeals to
vary or modify any rules, regulations or provisions of this code so
long as the intent and purposes of this code shall be observed, public
safety secured, and substantial justice done.
[CC 2001 §405.120; Ord. No. 856 §12.03(8), 6-11-1987]
The provisions of this code shall apply to all uses, structures,
improvements and alterations currently existing or approved by the
City after enactment of this code.
[CC 2001 §405.130; Ord. No. 856 §12.03(9), 6-11-1987]
All rights or remedies of the City are expressly saved as to
any and all violations of any previous zoning ordinance or amendments
thereto of the City and that have accrued at the time of the effective
date of this code, and such accrued violation of previous zoning ordinances
which would otherwise become non-conforming uses under this Chapter
shall be considered as violations of this code in the same manner
that they were violations of prior zoning ordinances of the City.
