The Zoning Districts for the City of Horn Lake shall be known as:

The boundaries of these zoning districts are illustrated upon the Official Zoning Map of Horn Lake, Mississippi, which map is made a part of this Ordinance. The said Official Zoning Map and all the notations, references, and other matters shown thereon shall be as much a part of this Ordinance as if the notations, references, and other matters set forth by said Official Zoning Map were all fully described herein.

2.

The Official Zoning Map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor, attested by the City Clerk, and shall bear the seal of the City under the following words:

"This is to certify that this is the Official Zoning Map of the City of Horn Lake, Mississippi, as adopted by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen on ________[."]

3.

Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the Official Zoning Map which may from time to time be prepared or printed, the Official Zoning Map bearing the above certificate and located in the City Hall of Horn Lake shall be the final authority as to the zoning status of land and water areas, buildings, and other structures in the City of Horn Lake.

4.

If, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance and Statutes of the State of Mississippi, changes are made in the zoning districts boundaries or other matters portrayed on the Official Zoning Map, such changes shall be made within thirty (30) days after the amendment has been approved by the Governing Authority.

1.

In the event that the Official Zoning Map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost, or difficult to interpret because of the nature or number of changes and additions, the Governing Authority may, by Ordinance, designate a new Official Zoning Map, which shall replace the prior zoning map. The new Official Zoning Map may correct drafting errors or other omissions on the prior Official Zoning Map, but no such correction shall have the effect of amending the original Official Zoning Map or any subsequent amendment thereof. The new Official Zoning Map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor, attested by the City Clerk, and shall bear the seal of the City under the following words:

"This is to certify that this Official Zoning Map replaces the Official Zoning Map adopted as part of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Horn Lake, Mississippi on ________.["]
