(b) Where the 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 lot lines and where the
designations on the district map are approximately bounded by lot lines,
such lot lines shall be construed to be the boundaries of the district.

(c) In unsubdivided property, the location of the district boundary lines shown
on the district map shall be determined by use of the scale shown on such
map.

(d) There shall be a certified copy of the district map described above. A copy
of such map shall be kept in the office of the Village Clerk/Treasurer and
shall be available for inspection by any person during regular office hours.
Such copy shall bear on its face the notation that it is the certified copy of
the district map, the certificate to be signed by the Village President and
attested by the Clerk/Treasurer and it shall show the number and the title of
the ordinance and the date of its adoption. Thereafter, no amendment to
this chapter which causes a change in the boundaries of any district shall
become effective until such change, together with a certificate describing
the change, has been shown on the certified copy. Such certificate of
amendment shall likewise be signed by the Village President and attested
by the Clerk/Treasurer and shall show the number of the amending
ordinance and the date of its adoption.

(e) The Village has adopted a comprehensive plan in accordance with Wis.
Stat. §66.1001 entitled “A Multi-Jurisdictional Comprehensive Plan for
Racine County: 2035.” Pursuant to Wis. Stat. §66.1001(3), zoning
ordinances enacted or amended must be consistent with the Village’s
comprehensive plan. Thus, areas of existing development shall, over time,
be placed in a zoning district that is consistent with the land use
designations shown on the land use plan map. Rezoning to achieve
consistency between the zoning map and the comprehensive plan will be
considered if requested by the property owner. The Village also reserves
the right to initiate a rezoning to achieve consistency. See Table 17-1 for
the land use category that corresponds with each zoning district
designation.
