If, in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance and Kentucky Revised Statutes, changes are made in zone boundaries or other matters portrayed on the Official Zoning Map (or maps), such changes shall be made on the Official Zoning Map (or maps) by Planning and Development Services of Kenton County staff promptly after the amendment to this ordinance has been approved by the city council; and the Planning Commission and Planning and Development Services of Kenton County is officially notified by a certified copy of said amendment in ordinance form. Such changes shall not become effective until said changes have been made on said map. In addition, no building, structure, sign, or fence permit shall be approved or issued until the Official Zoning Map (or maps) indicate the proper zoning for the use intended as indicated upon the application for a permit.

No changes of any nature shall be made on the Official Zoning Map (or maps) or matter shown thereon which are not in conformity with the procedures set forth in this ordinance.
