If the provisions of this ZDO conflict with the provisions of private easements, covenants, or restrictions, the stricter of the requirements shall apply. The city shall not be responsible for monitoring or enforcing private covenants and restrictions, although the city may inquire as to whether land is subject to covenants and restrictions during the review of development applications.
(Ord. 05-10, passed 3-23-10)
(A) General. The official zoning map designates the location and boundaries of the various zoning districts established in this ZDO within the city. The official zoning map shall be kept on file in the office of the Zoning Administrator and is available for public inspection during normal business hours. The original official version of the map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor attested by the City Clerk-Treasurer, and shall bear the seal of the city. It may be kept in either hard copy or digital form. It shall be the final authority as to the status of the current zone district classification of land in the city, and shall only be amended in accordance with this subsection.
(B) Damaged, destroyed, or lost. In the event the official zoning map is damaged, destroyed, lost, or becomes difficult to read and interpret due to the number of changes, the City Council may by resolution adopt a new official zoning map to replace the damaged, destroyed, or lost map. The new official zoning map shall not make any substantive changes (amendments), but may correct drafting and other clerical errors and omissions on the previous official zoning map. The revised official version of the map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor attested by the City Clerk-Treasurer, and shall bear the seal of the city. Unless the previous official zoning map is lost or has been totally destroyed, the previous map and any significant parts remaining shall be preserved, together with all records of the City Council regarding its adoption and amendment.
