(a) The districts established in Table 1204-1 of this code, and shown on the Official Zoning Map (hereafter referred to as the "zoning map"), together with all explanatory matter thereon, are hereby adopted as part of this code.
(b) The zoning map shall be identified by the signature of the President and Secretary of the Planning Commission and signature of the Mayor, attested by the Clerk of City Council, and bearing the Seal of the City under the following words: "This is to certify that this is the Official Zoning Map referred to in Section 1204.02: Official Zoning Map, of the City of Middletown Development Code," together with the date of the adoption of such code.
(c) Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the zoning map, which may be made or published, the Official Zoning Map, on file in the office of the Development Code Administrator, shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of land and water areas, buildings and other structures in the City.
(d) If, in accordance with the provisions of this code, changes are made in district boundaries or other matter portrayed on the zoning map, such changes shall be entered on the zoning map promptly after the effective date of the amendment approved by City Council.
(e) In the event that the Official Zoning Map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost, or difficult to interpret because of the nature or number of changes and additions, City Council may adopt a new Official Zoning Map, which shall supersede the prior Official Zoning Map. The new zoning map may correct drafting errors or other omissions but shall not have the effect of amending the original code or any subsequent amendments thereto.
