A.   The county is divided into zones, or districts, as shown on the official zoning map which, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this title.

   B.   The official zoning map shall be identified by the signature of the chairman of the board of county commissioners attested by the county clerk and bearing the seal of the county under the following words: "This is to certify that this is the Official Zoning Map referred to in chapter 5, of the Lincoln County Code; State of Nevada" together with the date of adoption. (Ord. 2005-10, 1-3-2006)

For convenience and identification, the official zoning map may be divided into separate maps having a scale different than the official zoning map. The classifications and boundaries of said zones shall be determined and delineated in accordance with the official zoning map if such area map is an enlargement of the official zoning map. When an area zoning map is created and not based upon the delineations of the official zoning map, a public hearing will be held for each area covered as provided in chapter 10 of this title prior to adoption of the map. Upon such adoption, regulations governing said zones shall become effective. Each area zoning map shall be certified in the manner specified for the official zoning map in section 13-5B-1 of this article. (Ord. 2005-10, 1-3-2006)

   A.   In accordance with the provisions of this chapter, if changes are made in zone district boundaries or other matters portrayed on the official or area zoning map, such changes shall be entered on the official or area zoning map promptly after the amendment has been approved by the planning commission with an entry on the official or area zoning map indicating the name of the property owner and date of rezoning, which entry shall be signed by the chairman of the board of county commissioners and attested by the county clerk.

   B.   Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the official and area zoning maps which may from time to time be made or published, the official and true area zoning maps shall be located in the office of the county clerk and shall be the final authority as the current zoning status of land and water area, building and other structures in the county. (Ord. 2005-10, 1-3-2006)

Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the official and area zoning map, the following rules shall apply:

   A.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, highways or alleys shall be construed to follow such centerline;

   B.   Boundaries indicated as approximately following plotted lines, section lines, quarter section lines or city limits shall be construed as following such lines;

   C.   Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks;

   D.   In unsubdivided property or where a zone boundary divides a lot, the location of such boundary, unless the same is indicated by dimensions, shall be determined by use of the scale appearing on the map;

   E.   In case any uncertainty exists, the planning commission shall determine the location of the boundaries. (Ord. 2005-10, 1-3-2006)
