[Ord. No. 649 §1, 3-4-2002]
The boundaries of each zone are to be indicated upon the official
Zoning Map as approved by the legislative authority. Said map and
subsequent amendments thereto shall be considered as a part of this
Code.
[Ord. No. 649 §1, 3-4-2002]
Any territory hereafter annexed shall automatically, upon such
annexation, be classified as R-1 residential zone and be subject to
all conditions and regulations applicable to property in such district.
Owners of areas to be annexed may request other zoning at the time
of annexation for consideration by the City Board of Aldermen.
[Ord. No. 649 §1, 3-4-2002]
The principal objective of this Zoning Code is to provide for
an orderly arrangement of compatible buildings and land uses and for
the property location of all types of uses required for the social
and economic welfare of the community. To accomplish this objective,
each type and kind of use is classified as permitted in one (1) or
more of the various use zones established by this Code. However, in
addition to those uses specifically classified and permitted in each
zone, there are certain additional uses which it may be necessary
to allow because of the unusual characteristics of the service they
provide the public. These conditional uses require particular considerations
as to their proper location to adjacent, established or intended uses
or to the planned growth of the community. The conditions controlling
the locations and operations of such special uses are established
by the applicable Sections of this Code.
