(A) Map adoption. The town, hereby adopts by reference as a part of this subchapter, an official zoning map together with all explanatory matter and attendant documents which may be supplementary or attached thereto. The composite group of the official zoning map and any such explanatory matter and attendant documents, shall be exhibits which shall be made a part of, incorporated into and attached to the official town ordinance adopting this chapter. Originals of the official zoning map may be retained in the administration offices of the town or displayed in the Town Hall meeting room. A copy shall be maintained in the office of the Town Clerk. The official zoning map shall be a part of the public records of the town and shall be made available for public inspection and shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of land and water areas, buildings and other structures, in the incorporated area of the town.
(B) Map amendment. No changes or amendments to the official zoning map shall be made except in compliance and conformity with all legal procedures and requirements. If, in accordance with these procedures, changes or amendments are made to district boundaries or other subject matter portrayed on the official zoning map, such changes or amendments shall be made promptly after official adoption of the change or amendment as provided for herein. The Town Council shall designate the person or agency who shall be responsible for the updating and amendment of the official zoning map.
(C) Map replacement. In the event that the official zoning map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret because of the nature and number of changes and additions, the Town Council may adopt a new official zoning map which shall supersede the prior official zoning map. The new official zoning map may correct any drafting and clerical errors or omissions in the prior official zoning map, but no such corrections shall have the effect of amending the code or any subsequent amendment thereto without a duly noticed hearing, as provided for herein. Unless the prior official zoning map(s) has been lost or destroyed, the prior map(s) or any significant parts thereof remaining shall be preserved together with all available records pertaining to its adoption and amendment.
