(a) The boundaries of zoning districts are hereby established as shown on the Zoning Map of Springfield, Ohio, herein referred to as the "map." The map shall be and is hereby made a part of this code. The map and one (1) reproduction shall both be dated and certified to be true and correct by the President of the Commission. The map shall be placed and remain on file in the City Clerk's office in the form provided at the time of the passage of this code. One (1) certified true reproduction shall be maintained in the office of the Planning and Zoning Administrator.
(b) Subsequent amendments to the map shall be recorded by filing the amending ordinances together with schematic maps diagramming the effect of the amendments on the original map. The original map shall not be altered.
(c) The Community Development Department shall from time to time produce a consolidated map reflecting all current changes, but this map and all reproductions of this map will only be for reference and convenience and will not be regarded as a part of this code.
(d) If, in the judgment of the City Clerk, the original map becomes sufficiently worn or outdated to justify replacement, the City Commission may direct that a new map be drawn reflecting all the then current amendments. This new map, after inspection by all members of the Commission, may be adopted by ordinance as the new map. One (1) copy of the new map shall be reproduced, dated and certified to be true and correct by the President of the Commission and shall then replace the original map.
