1. A part of the code. The boundaries of the districts are established on a map entitled, Zone Map, New Palestine, Indiana, dated 2001, as amended, hereinafter referred to as the "Official Zone Map" which accompanies and is incorporated in and made a part of this chapter. Notations, references, indications, and other matters shown on the zone map are as much a part of this chapter as if they were fully described herein.
2. Verification. The official zone map shall be identified by the signature of the Town Council President, attested by the Clerk-Treasurer, and bearing the seal of the city under the following words: "This is to certify that this is the official zone map referred to in Section 1.08 of The Code of Ordinances of the Town of New Palestine, Indiana."
3. Future map entries. If, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, changes are made in district boundaries or other matter portrayed on the official zone map, such changes shall be entered on the map promptly after the amendment has been approved by the Council, with an entry on the official zone map as follows: "On (date) by official action of the Council, the following changes were made in the official zone map; (brief description of the nature of the changes),which entry shall be signed by the Town Council President and attested by the Clerk-Treasurer."
4. Changes. No changes of any nature shall be made in the official zone map or matter shown thereon except in conformity with the procedures set forth in this chapter. Any unauthorized change of whatever kind by any person or persons shall be considered a violation of this chapter and punishable as provided under Section 8.
5. Location of zone map. Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the official zone map which may from time to time be made or published, the official zone map which shall be located in the office of the Town Manager shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of land and water areas, building, and other structures in the city.
6. Damaged, lost, or destroyed map. In the event the official zone map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost, or difficult to interpret because of the nature or number of changes and additions, the Council may direct the Plan Commission to prepare a new official zone map which shall supersede the prior map on approval by the Council. The new official zone map may correct drafting or other errors or omissions in the prior map, but no such correction shall have the effect of amending the original official zone map or any subsequent amendment. The new official zone map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor attested by the Clerk-Treasurer and bearing the seal of the city under the following words: "This is to certify that this official zone map supersedes and replaces on this day (date) the official zone map adopted (date of adoption of map being replaced) as part of Chapter 90 of the Town of New Palestine, Indiana."
7. Map to be preserved. Unless the prior official zone map has been lost or has been totally destroyed, the prior map or any significant parts thereof remaining shall be preserved, together with all available records pertaining to its adoption or amendment.
