(a) The Official Zoning Map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor and attested by the Clerk of Council, shall show the date of adoption of this Zoning Ordinance, and shall be further defined as being the zoning districts as shown on the set of Lorain County Tax Maps maintained by the City Building Department.
(b) If, in accordance with the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance and Ohio R.C. Chapter 713, changes are made in district boundaries or other matters portrayed on this Zoning Map, such changes shall be duly-noted on the Zoning Map no later than seven (7) days after the effective date of the amendment. No changes shall be made in the Zoning Map except in conformity with the amendment procedures set forth in this Ordinance.
(c) Regardless of the existence of copies of the Zoning Map, the official Zoning Map bearing the original signature of the Mayor shall be recognized as the official map as to current zoning status.
(d) In the event that the official Zoning Map becomes damaged, destroyed, or difficult to interpret because of changes, council may, by resolution, adopt a new Zoning Map which shall supersede the prior map. The new map may correct drafting or other errors or omissions, but no such correction shall have the effect of amending the Zoning Ordinance.
