Chapter 29 ZONING*
Section 29-4 District map adopted.
(a) The boundaries of the districts as enumerated in section
29-3 of this chapter are hereby
established and adopted as shown on the map which is hereby designated as the "Zoning District
Map," and which map and all the 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. It shall be the duty
of the director of public works to keep on file in his office an authentic copy of such district map,
and duplicate copies thereof, showing all the changes, amendments or additions thereto. When
definite distances in feet are not shown on the zoning district map, the district boundaries on the
zoning district map are intended to be along the existing street, alley or plotted lines, or extension
of the same, and if the exact location of such line is not clear, it shall be determined by the
director of public works, due consideration being given to location as indicated by the scale of
the zoning district map.
(b) When streets or alleys on the ground differ from the
streets or alleys as shown on the
zoning district map, the director of public works may apply the district designations on the map
to the streets or alleys on the ground in such manner as to conform to the intent and purpose of
this chapter.
(c) Whenever any street or alley is vacated, the particular
district in which the adjacent
property lies shall be automatically extended to the centerline of any such street or alley.
(d) Except as provided in subsection (f), all territory which
may hereafter be annexed to the
city shall automatically be placed in zoning district R-1 for a period of not more than six (6)
months.
(e) During the six-month period referred to in (d) herein,
the commission shall proceed to
recommend permanent zoning to the council in the manner prescribed by law, within three (3)
months, and the council shall act on the recommendations in the normal manner in the remaining
three (3) months, causing permanent zoning districts to be created and having the zoning district
map changed to incorporate the permanent district lines.
(f) A petitioner for annexation may request that the petitioner's
property in the area proposed
to be annexed be placed in one or more specified zoning districts upon annexation. Except as
modified by this section, the procedures set forth in section 29-34(a) and (c) shall apply to such
zoning requests. When a request for zoning has been made under this subsection,
the
ordinance
annexing the area shall place the area in one or more zoning districts. If the proposed annexation
ordinance would place any property in the area to be annexed in a district other than that
requested, the petition for annexation may be withdrawn at any time before passage of the
ordinance.
