The locations and boundaries of the zoning districts established herein are shown upon the Zoning Map which is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Chapter (see Section 405.130). The Zoning Map, together with all duly enacted notations, references and other information shown thereon and all amendments thereto, 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.
[Ord. No. 4238 §2(302.2), 10-3-1988]
A.
Whenever
any uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any use district as shown
on the Zoning Maps incorporated herein, the following rules shall
apply:
1.
Where district boundary lines are indicated as following streets,
alleys or similar rights-of-way, they shall be construed as following
the centerlines thereof.
2.
Where district lines are indicated as approximately following lot
lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
3.
Where a lot held in one (1) ownership and of record on the effective
date of this Chapter (October 3, 1988) is divided by a district boundary
line, the entire lot shall be construed to be within the district
containing more than half the area of the lot.
[Ord. No. 4238 §2(302.3), 10-3-1988]
If, in accordance with procedures of this Chapter and of Chapter
89, Revised Statutes of Missouri, and as may be amended, a change
is made in a zoning district boundary, such change shall be made by
the Zoning Administrator or his/her designee, with an entry on the
Official Zoning Map, promptly after the ordinance authorizing such
change shall have been adopted by the City Council and published.
[Ord. No. 4238 §2(302.4), 10-3-1988]
The Official Zoning Map shall be located in City Hall, (copies
of which shall be available for public inspection) and, with the revised
ordinance, shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status
of any land, parcel, lot, district, use, building or structure in
the City.
[Ord. No. 4238 §2(302.5), 10-3-1988; Ord. No. 4750 §1, 2-7-2000; Ord.
No. 4855 §§1 — 2, 6-16-2003; Ord. No. 5090 §1, 11-3-2008]
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 City Council 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 Ordinance or the prior
Official Zoning Map. The new Official Zoning Map shall be identified
by the signature of the Mayor, attested by the City Clerk and shall
bear the following words: "This is to certify that this is the Official
Zoning Map referred to in the Zoning Ordinance (No. 4238), adopted
on October 3, 1988 and amended and readopted in Ord. No. 5090 §1
adopted on November 3, 2008; 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. The
Richmond Heights Zoning Map which is on file in the City offices reflects
all rezoning through Ord. No. 5084, adopted on August 18, 2008, and
is hereby adopted as the Official Zoning Map of the City of Richmond
Heights.
[Ord. No. 4238 §2(302.6), 10-3-1988]
The regulations established by this Chapter within each zoning
district shall be the 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.
[Ord. No. 4238 §2(302.7), 10-3-1988]
The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to all uses, structures,
improvements and alterations currently existing or approved by the
City after enactment of this Chapter.
[Ord. No. 4238 §2(302.8), 10-3-1988]
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 Chapter, 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 Chapter in
the same manner that they were violations of prior zoning ordinances
of the City.
