§ 16-02.008. Replacement of official zoning map.  


Latest version.
  • If the official zoning map becomes damaged, lost or difficult to interpret by reason of the nature or number of changes, the council may by ordinance authorize a new official zoning map which shall supersede the prior map; provided, however, that if there is uncertainty about the zoning status of any area because of the condition of the map or any part thereof, such action shall take the form of an amendment to the zoning ordinance, and shall resolve the uncertainty.

    The new official zoning map may correct drafting or other omissions or errors in the prior map, but no such correction shall have the effect of amendment as to zoning status unless the action adopting such map is an amending action. The new official zoning map shall be authenticated and attested as for the original, with wording indicating when and by what instrument the prior document was adopted.

    Unless the prior official zoning map has been lost or wholly destroyed, said documents or any remaining significant parts thereof shall be preserved, together with any significant records pertaining to its adoption or amendment, as a guide to prior zoning status of areas.
