<br />Such map shall be on permanent file and available for public inspection in City Hall. It shall be the
<br />responsibility of the zoning administrator to maintain and keep the map up to date and to revise or
<br />update the map with each amendment thereto within 30 days after official publication of the
<br />ordinance adopting the amendment.
<br />(B) District and development area boundaries shown within the lines of roads, streams, and
<br />transportation rights -of -way shall be deemed to follow the centerlines. The vacation of roads shall
<br />not affect the location of such district or development area boundaries. When the zoning
<br />administrator cannot definitely determine the location of a district or development area boundary
<br />by such centerlines, by the scale or dimensions stated on the zoning map, or by the fact that it
<br />clearly coincides with a property line, the zoning administrator shall interpret the location of the
<br />district or development area boundary with reference to the scale of the zoning map and the
<br />purposes set forth in all relevant provisions of this Code. When a district or development area
<br />boundary line divides a lot of record into two or more districts or into both development areas, any
<br />portion of the lot within 50 feet of such division may be used for any use of either district or
<br />development area as approved by the Planning Commission or as appealed by the City Council. The
<br />Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary line as shown in the Comprehensive Plan,
<br />however, defines the limits of sewered areas. Any area outside of the MUSA boundary shall not be
<br />served with sewer.
<br />130 Enforcement
<br />(A) Any violation of this chapter may be enjoined by the council through proper legal channels. Each
<br />day a violation is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense.
<br />(B) In case any building, structure, or land is proposed to be erected, reconstructed, altered, converted,
<br />maintained or used in violation of this chapter, the council, in addition to other remedies, may
<br />institute in the name of the city any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent, restrain, correct
<br />or abate such building, structure, or land, or to prevent, in or about such premises, any act, conduct,
<br />business, or use constituting a violation, as prescribed in Chapter 2.
<br />(C) Violation of any provision of this chapter is considered a misdemeanor.
<br />Appeals are provided in the same manner as prescribed in Chapter 2.
<br />140 Non -Conformities
<br />Intent. It is the purpose of this section to provide for the regulation of nonconforming buildings,
<br />structures, site improvements, and uses and to specify those requirements, circumstances, and
<br />conditions under which nonconforming buildings, structures, and uses will be operated and
<br />maintained. This chapter establishes separate districts, each of which is an appropriate area for the
<br />location of uses that are allowed in that district. It is necessary and consistent with the
<br />establishment of these districts that nonconforming buildings, structures, site improvements, and
<br />uses not be allowed to continue without restriction. Furthermore, it is the intent of this section that
<br />all nonconforming uses shall be eventually brought into conformity or terminated.
<br />(B) Regulations.
<br />(1) Whenever a lawful nonconforming use of a structure or land or occupancy is discontinued for
<br />a continuous period of one year, any future use of said structure or lands shall be made to
<br />conform with the provisions of this chapter.
<br />�2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, any nonconformity, including the lawful
<br />use or occupation of land or premises existing at the time of the adoption of an additional
<br />control under this chapter, may be continued, including through repair, replacement,
<br />restoration, maintenance, or improvement, but not including expansion, unless it is a
<br />nonconforming use that is destroyed by fire or other peril to the extent of greater than 50
<br />percent of its market value, and no building permit has been applied for within 180 days of
