There are created as part of this title an official zoning map, referred to in this title as "map," and an official zone regulations chart, referred to in this title as "chart." The map shall show as graphically as possible the zones into which the city has been divided and the chart shall show the regulations for each zone. Both the map and chart shall be on file in the office of the city clerk-treasurer and there shall be only one official copy of each. Attached to the map and chart as addenda shall be the exact legal description by lot and block of each and every zone within the corporate boundary of the city. If, in accordance with this title and RCW 35A.63, changes are made in boundaries or other matters portrayed on the map, or if changes are made in the zone regulations on the chart, such changes shall be entered promptly on the map or chart, together with the addenda, after the amendment has been approved by the city council. Both map and chart shall bear the signature of the mayor attested by the city clerk-treasurer and the city seal. Such attestation shall identify the map and chart as integral and essential parts of this chapter.
