A.
The
boundaries of the districts are shown upon the map which is hereby
designated as the "Zoning District Map" and which map and all notations,
references and information shown thereon are hereby made as much a
part of this Chapter as if the same were set forth in full herein.
B.
The
original "Zoning District Map" is properly attested and is on file
with the City Clerk.
C.
If,
in accordance with procedures of this Chapter and of Chapter 89, RSMo.,
as amended, a change is made in a zoning district boundary, such change
shall be made by the City Manager or his/her designee promptly after
the ordinance authorizing such change shall have been adopted by the
City Council and published, with an entry on the "Zoning District
Map".
[CC 1988 §29-5; Ord.
No. 2788 §2, 10-21-1985]
A.
Where
uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of zoning districts as shown
on the "Zoning District Map", the following rules shall apply:
1.
The district boundaries are the midpoints of streets or alleys unless
otherwise shown, and where the districts designated on the map are
bounded approximately by street or alley lines, the midpoint of the
street or alley shall be construed to be the boundary of the district.
2.
Where district boundaries are not otherwise indicated, and where
the property has been or may hereafter be divided into blocks and
lots, the district boundaries shall be construed to be the lot lines,
and where the districts designated on the "Zoning District Map" are
bounded approximately by lot lines, the lot lines shall be construed
to be the boundary of the districts unless the boundaries are otherwise
indicated on the map.
3.
In unsubdivided property, the district boundary lines on the "Zoning
District Map" shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on
the map.
4.
When the boundary line approximately follows the corporate boundary
line of the City, it shall be construed as following the corporate
boundary line.
5.
Where a district boundary line divides a lot which is in single ownership
at the time of the adoption or amendment of this Chapter, the City
Council may permit as a conditional use 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.
6.
Where a physical or cultural feature existing on the ground is at
variance with that shown on the "Zoning District Map" or in any other
circumstances not covered in paragraphs (1 — 5) above, the City
Council shall interpret the zoning district boundary.

Upon
receipt of an application and petition to annex and zone property,
the City shall evaluate the request to verify that it is contiguous
to the City limits and to evaluate the ability to provide municipal
services and if any other additional conditions shall be assigned
upon annexation.
D.
Upon
receiving an application and petition for annexation and to establish
the zoning classification of property in the City of De Soto, a public
hearing will be held with the Planning and Zoning Commission. The
Planning and Zoning Commission will make a zoning recommendation to
the City Council where a joint public hearing with Planning and Zoning
and City Council will be held not less than fourteen (14) days following
the public hearing. If written objections are not filed with the City
within fourteen (14) days after the joint public hearing, the Council
may then deny or approve the annexation ordinance.
