As shown by the official extraterritorial zoning map, the area is divided into districts named in section 50-52. The boundaries of these districts are established as shown on the official extraterritorial zoning map of the city and the map and all notations, references and other information shown thereon shall be and are made a part of this article by reference. The official extraterritorial zoning map shall be identified by the signature of the mayor attested by the clerk and bearing the seal of the city under the following words: "Ordinance No. 2004-1623 of the city, adopted July 6, 2004." Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the official extraterritorial zoning map which may from time to time be made or published, the official extraterritorial zoning map which shall be located in the office of the zoning administrative officer is the final authority as to the current zoning status of land and water areas, buildings and other structures in the city's extraterritorial area.

(Code 1996, § 121.05A)

Amendments, supplements or changes of the boundaries of districts as shown on the official zoning map shall be made by an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 2001-1564. The amending ordinance shall refer to the official zoning map and shall set out the identification of the area affected by legal description and identify the zoning district as the same exists and the new district's designation applicable to the property. The ordinance shall, after adoption and publication, be recorded by the clerk as other ordinances and a certified copy thereof shall be attached to the official zoning map. Such amendatory ordinance shall, however, not repeal or reenact the map, but only amend it. The official zoning map, together with amending ordinances, shall be the final authority as the current zoning status of land and water areas, buildings, and other structures in the city.

(Code 1996, § 121.06)

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 council may, by ordinance, adopt a new official zoning map which shall supersede the prior official zoning map. The new official zoning map may correct drafting or other errors or omissions on the prior official zoning map, but no such correction shall have the effect of amending the original zoning ordinance or any subsequent amendment thereof. The new official zoning map shall be identified by the signature of the mayor, attested by the city clerk, dated and bearing the seal of the city under the following words: "This is to certify that this official zoning map supersedes and replaces the official zoning map adopted ___________, as part of Ordinance No. _________ of the city."
