2.04.1 ESTABLISHMENT, AMENDMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
A. There shall be a map designated as the Official Zoning Map, which shall show the boundaries of all zoning districts within the town's planning jurisdiction. This map shall be stored on the town's geographic information system (GIS) and printed on durable material. Prints shall be dated and kept in Town Hall in the Town Clerk's office.
B. The Official Zoning Map is adopted and incorporated herein by reference. Amendments to this map shall be made and posted in accordance with the provisions of Article VII of this UDO.
C. The Administrator shall update the Official Zoning Map as soon as possible after amendments to it are adopted by the Board of Commissioners. Upon entering any such amendment on the map, the Administrator shall change the date of the map to indicate its latest revision. New prints of the updated map may then be issued. The Administrator shall keep copies of superseded prints of the zoning map for historical reference.
D. No unauthorized person may alter or modify the Official Zoning Map.
E. GIS records shall indicate the zoning designation, the number and date of the ordinance creating the designation and, where a conditional zoning district is established, the conditions of that rezoning. GIS records shall maintain the zoning history.
F. Should the Official Zoning Map be lost, destroyed or damaged, the Administrator may have a new map generated from the most reliable available data. No further Board of Commissioner authorization or action is required so long as no district boundaries are changed in this process.
2.04.2 INTERPRETATION OF BOUNDARIES OF ZONING DISTRICTS
Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts shown on the Official Zoning Map or any other map incorporated in or referenced by the UDO, the following rules shall apply:
A. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of streets, alleys or other public rights-of-way shall be construed to follow such centerlines. Where the street, alley or right-of-way has been vacated through official action of the governing body, the boundary shall be construed to follow the centerline of the vacated right-of-way.
B. Boundaries indicated as approximately following platted lot lines, section lines or tract lines shall be construed to follow such lines.
C. Boundaries indicated as approximately following town corporate limit lines shall be construed to follow such town corporate limit lines.
D. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main tracks.
E. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines and in the event of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.
F. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the centerlines of canals, streams or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such centerlines.
G. Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of boundaries of any mapped area, the Administrator shall make the necessary interpretation.
H. When the street or property layout existing on the ground is at odds with that shown on the Official Zoning Map, the Board of Adjustment shall interpret the district boundaries in accordance with Article VII.
