2. Definitions. See Appendix A at the end of the Ordinance. SECTION 4. ZONING DISTRICTS AND MAP. 1. Districts. In order to carry out the purpose and provisions of this Ordinance, the City of Gem Lake is hereby divided into the following Districts and group of Districts: 1. Residence Districts: 1. "RE" Single Family Estate Residential (5.0 acre minimum lot size) 2. "RX" Single Family Executive Residential (3.0 acre minimum lot size) 3. "RO" Low Density Residential (1.0 acre minimum lot size) 4. "RS" Medium Density Residential (0.5 acre minimum lot size) 2. Gateway District "G" (uses determined by PUD) 3. Open Space / Recreational "OS / R" 2. Map. The boundaries of the above districts are hereby established on that certain map entitled "City of Gem Lake Zoning Map", dated September 2017 and from time to time amended, which map is properly approved and hereinafter referred to as the "Zoning Map". This map and all of the notations, references and other information shown thereon shall have the same force and effect as it is fully set forth and described herein. Boundaries. District boundary lines as indicated on said map follow lot lines, the center lines of streets, alleys, or railroads, the center lines of streets or alleys projects, the center of water courses or the corporate limit lines, all as they exist upon the effective date of this Ordinance or amendments thereto. If district boundary lines do not follow any of the above described lines, the district boundary lines are established as drawn on the zoning map. Where a District boundary line divides a lot of record which was in single ownership at the time of enactment of this Ordinance and places portions of such lot of record in two (2) or more Use Districts, any portion of such lot with fifty (50'0") feet on either side of such a dividing district boundary line may be used for any use of either Use District; provided, however, if any portion of such lot shall extend beyond the fifty (50'0") feet limitation, the District line as shown shall prevail. Appeals from the Zoning Administrator's determination and questions of doubt concerning the exact location of District boundary lines shall be heard by the Board of Appeals.
