The Official Zoning Map, and all data, references, explanatory material and notations on such Official Zoning Map, are hereby incorporated by reference in this Zoning Code, thereby having the same force and effect as if fully described in writing in this Zoning Code.
   (b)   Legend. The Official Zoning Map shall contain a legend that shall list the name and symbol (which may be any color and/or pattern) of each zoning district. In addition to such legend, the Official Zoning Map shall provide sufficient space for noting Official Zoning Map amendments, in compliance with Section 1248.06.
   (c)   Identification; Maintenance; Conflicts. The Official Zoning Map shall be properly identified by the signature of the Mayor, as attested by the Safety-Service Director, and shall bear the official seal of the City. The Official Zoning Map shall be maintained by the Zoning Administrator and shall remain on file in the office of the Safety-Service Director.
   Whenever there is an apparent conflict between the district boundaries (as shown on the Official Zoning Map) and the descriptions (as found in the text of this Zoning Code or any other ordinance), the written descriptions shall control.
   The Official Zoning Map shall be a reproducible document, and copies shall be made available to the public upon request and upon payment of a fee, as established by Council. Whenever the Official Zoning Map is changed by Council, the Mayor and the Safety-Service Director shall certify the accuracy of the Official Zoning Map by placing their signatures and the date on the reproducible Official Zoning Map.
