Oskaloosa City Zoning Code

A.

Adoption of Zoning Map. Boundaries of zoning districts established by this chapter shall be shown on the zoning map maintained by the city clerk. This map shall bear the signature of the mayor, attested by the city clerk under the certification that this is the zoning map referred to by this title. This map, together with all legends, references, symbols, boundaries, and other information, shall be adopted as a part of and concurrent with this title. The zoning map shall be on file with the city clerk and shall be readily accessible to the public at Oskaloosa City Hall.

B.

Changes to the Zoning Map. The city council may, from time to time, adopt a new zoning map that shall supersede the prior zoning map:

1.

If the zoning map becomes damaged or destroyed.

2.

For purposes of clarity, due to a number of boundary changes.

3.

To correct drafting errors or omissions provided, however, that any such adoption shall not have the effect of amending the original zoning ordinance or any subsequent amendment thereof.

C.

Authority. The zoning map and amending ordinances shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of land and water areas, buildings, and other structures in the city.

D.

Conflicts. In the event of a conflict between the zoning map and an approved legal description of an amending ordinance, the legal description governs. In other cases, the rules under Section 17.04.060 Interpretation of district boundaries apply.
