L0 M LAND USE Sec. 6.12.820. Map and legal descriptions. The boundaries of the districts are established as shown by legal descriptions and map entitled "Official Zoning Map, Orono, Minnesota." These legal descriptions and map, collectively referred to as the zoning map, together with all notations, references and other information shown on the map, shall have the same force and effect as if fully set out in the map and are made a part of this chapter. These legal descriptions and the map shall be kept on file as a public record at city hall, and shall be modified to reflect any changes duly made by amendments. (Code 1984, § 10.16(2); Code 2003, § 78-162) Sec. 6.12.830. Boundaries. District boundary lines as indicated on the zoning map follow lot lines, the centerlines of streets or alleys, the centerlines of streets or alleys projected, or the corporate limit lines, all as they existed on January 1, 1975. If district boundary lines do not follow any of these lines, the district boundary lines are established as drawn on the zoning map or, in the case of zoning map amendments subsequent to January 1, 1975, as legally described in such amendment ordinances. Where a district boundary line divides a lot of record which was in single ownership on January 1, 1975, and places portions of such lot of record in two or more use districts, any portion of such lot within 50 feet on either side of such a dividing district boundary line may be used for any use of either use district; however, if any portion of such lot shall extend beyond the 50-foot limitation, the district line as shown shall prevail. (Code 1984, § 10.16(3); Code 2003, § 78-163) Sec. 6.12.840. Proceedings in boundary disputes. Appeals from the zoning administrator's determinations and questions or doubt concern- ing the exact location of district boundary lines shall be heard by the board of zoning appeals and adjustments and a recommendation made to the council. (Code 1984, § 10.16(4); Code 2003, § 78-164) § 6.12.1010 Sec. 6.12.850. Vacations do not affect boundary lines. Whenever any street, alley or other public way is vacated by official action of the city, the zoning district abutting the centerline of the alley or public way shall not be affected by such proceeding. (Code 1984, § 10.16(5); Code 2003, § 78-165) Sec. 6.12.860. Annexations. Any property duly annexed to the city shall become a part of the RR-lA district unless it was otherwise zoned in the adjoining municipality before annexation, in which case it will fall in the zone most closely approximating the zone in the municipality from which it was annexed. (Code 1984, § 10.16(6); Code 2003, § 78-166) ARTICLE IV. DISTRICT REGULATIONS Division 1. Generally Sec. 6.12.910. Interpretation and applica- tion of zoning district uses. This article sets forth the permitted, conditional and accessory uses that are allowed in zoning districts. Uses listed as permitted uses constitute allowable principal uses of a property. Uses listed as conditional uses require a conditional use permit. Listed accessory uses are subordinate to and considered as customarily incidental to the principal permitted or conditional use on the property. (Code 2003, § 78-201; Ord.
