Zoning districts. For the purposes of this code, the Village is hereby divided into zoning districts hereafter provided in Article II.
B. 
The boundaries of the zones are established as shown on the Village Zoning District Map. The zoning districts and boundaries are hereby adopted and established as shown on the District Map, which map, together with all notations, references, data, district boundaries and other information thereon, are made a part of the Zoning Code by reference. The Zoning Map, properly attested, shall remain on file in the office of the Zoning Official or other appropriate Village official.
Except as otherwise provided in this code:
A. 
Conformity of buildings and land. No building, structure, or premises shall be used or occupied, and no buildings or parts thereof or other structure shall be erected, raised, moved, placed, reconstructed, extended, enlarged or altered, except in conformity with the regulations herein specified for the zoning district in which it is located and as otherwise regulated herein, except as otherwise specifically provided for by this code.
B. 
Conformity of buildings. No building, structure or premises shall be erected, altered or used so as to produce greater heights, smaller yards or less unoccupied area, and no building shall be occupied by more families and/or persons than prescribed for such building, structure or premises for the district in which it is located and as otherwise regulated herein, except as otherwise specifically provided for by this code.

This code is not intended to abrogate or annul any building permits, certificates of occupancy, variances or other lawful permits issued before the effective date of this code.
A. 
Interpretation of provisions. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this code shall be held to be minimum requirements. Whenever this code imposes a greater restriction than is imposed and required by other provisions of law or by other rules or regulations or resolutions, the provisions of the most restrictive code should govern.
B. 
Interpretation of district boundaries.
(1) 
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines or street lines of streets, the center lines or alley lines of alleys, or the center lines or right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map.
(2) 
Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be such boundaries.
(3) 
Where the boundary of a district follows a railroad line, such boundary shall be deemed to be located at the railroad right-of-way line closest to the most restrictive zoning district line shown on the Zone District Map.
(4) 
Where the boundary of a district follows a stream, lake or other body of water, said boundary line shall be construed to be the center line of the stream, otherwise at the limit of the jurisdiction of the Village, unless otherwise indicated.
(5) 
Any areas shown on the Zoning Map as park, playground, school, cemetery, water, street, or right-of-way shall be subject to the zoning regulations of the district in which they are located.
(6) 
Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated in the manner authorized by law, the zoning district adjoining each side of such street, alley, or public way shall automatically extend to the center of such vacation and all area included in the vacation shall thereafter be subject to all regulations of the extended districts.
(7) 
Where any land or territory within the Village is not shown to be located in a district, the zoning regulations of the most restrictive adjoining district shall govern.
(8) 
Where a lot under single ownership is divided, at the time of enactment of this code or by subsequent amendments, by a zoning district boundary line, the requirements of the less restrictive district adjacent to such line may be extended for that lot, not more than 25 feet into the more restrictive district.
C. 
Existing special uses. Where an existing use is classified as a special use under this code, it shall be considered a legal use, without further action of the Village Board.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
In the construction of this code, the rules and definitions contained in this section shall be observed and applied, except when the context clearly indicates otherwise.
