(b) These additional identifiers shall be appended to the specific district of properties designated by ordinance as being landmarks or within the boundaries of an Historic District as provided for in §§ 162.180 through 162.195 of this chapter. The additional identification is only designed to grant the various protections afforded by §§ 162.180 through 162.195 and, unless otherwise specified, is not intended to remove any requirement that the property otherwise comply with the zoning regulations and other ordinances of the city.
(B) District map. The boundaries of the districts are as shown on the “The City of Quincy Zoning District Map” compiled September 18, 1998, as amended from time to time, which shall be maintained by the Secretary of the Quincy Plan Commission and, for this purpose only, the Secretary of the City Plan Commission shall be considered a Deputy City Clerk. Upon adoption or amendment of a specific zoning district, the map shall be revised by the Plan Commission Secretary or by other personnel as the Director of Planning and Development may designate. The map shall be maintained as part of the geographic imaging system of the city and copies shall be made available to the public upon payment of a fee in the amount which shall offset the costs of copying and publishing the official map. The map as maintained hereunder shall be the final authority as to the current zoning status of lands and buildings, subject to amendments then in effect.
(C) Interpretation of map. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of districts as shown on the district map, the following rules shall apply:
(1) Boundaries are the centerline of highways, expressways, streets or alleys, unless otherwise indicated;
(2) Boundaries are platted tracts on lot lines, unless otherwise indicated;
(3) Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be midway between the main track;
(4) All territory in the unincorporated area hereafter coming under the zoning jurisdiction of the city shall be and the same is hereby classified for zoning purposes as RU1 - Rural, until otherwise reclassified by amendment; and
(e) Whenever the Council or other authority vacates a street or alley, adjacent districts shall extend to the centerline of the vacation.
(D) Changes. If, by amendment to these provisions, any change made in any district boundary or in any other matter shown on the district map, the change shall be indicated on the map promptly after the amendment is adopted by the Secretary of the Plan Commission.
