DISTRICT ROS

The boundaries of these districts are set out and delineated on the Official Zoning Map, which is incorporated by reference and made a part of this Zoning Code. The Official Zoning Map bears the legend "Adopted as a part of Ordinance No. 124 of the Town of Palm Beach Shores, Florida," together with the date, the signatures of the members of the Town Commission adopting this Zoning Code, the signature of the mayor, the signature of the Town Clerk attesting authenticity, and the corporate seal of the Town.

The Official Zoning Map, and all the notations, references, and other information shown thereon, except as specifically noted, are a part of this ordinance as if such information set forth on the Official Zoning Map were all fully described and set out herein. The Official Zoning Map, properly attested, shall remain at all times on file in the Office of the Town Clerk, and shall not be removed therefrom except under order of a court. Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the Official Zoning Map which may from time to time be made or published, the Official Zoning Map located in the Office of the Town Clerk shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of all land in the Town.
