§ 200-3. Incorporation of official zoning map.

(a)

Official Zoning Map.

(1)

The City is hereby divided into zoning districts, as shown on the official zoning map, which, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby adopted by reference and declared a part of this zoning ordinance.

(2)

The Official Zoning Map shall be identified by the signature of the mayor, attested by the City Clerk, 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 the Chamblee Zoning Ordinance" together with the date of adoption of this UDO. The official zoning map (together with all notations, references, data and other information shown on the map) is adopted and incorporated into this zoning ordinance. It is as much a part of this zoning ordinance as if actually depicted within its pages.

(3)

The location and boundaries of the zoning districts established by this zoning map are depicted on and maintained as part of the City's geographic information system (GIS), under the direction of the City Manager. The latest adopted version of the official zoning map shall be available for inspection in the offices of the City of Chamblee Development Department during regular business hours of the City.

(b)

Maintenance and updates. The Development Director is responsible for directing revisions to the official zoning map to reflect its amendment following the effective date of the zoning map amendments. No unauthorized person may alter or modify the official zoning map. The Development Director may authorize printed copies of the official zoning map to be produced and must maintain digital or printed copies of superseded versions of the official zoning map for historical reference.

(c)

Replacement of official zoning map.

(1)

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, the Mayor and City Council may by zoning ordinance adopt a new official zoning map which shall supersede the prior official zoning map, and shall be identified by the signature of the mayor attested by the City Clerk and bearing the seal of the City under the following words: "This is to certify that this Official Zoning Map supersedes and replaces the Official Zoning Map adopted the date of March 21, 2006 as part of the Chamblee Zoning Ordinance." The new official zoning map may correct drafting or other errors or omissions in the prior official zoning map, but no such correction shall have the effect of amending the original official zoning map.

(2)

Unless the previous official zoning map has been lost, or has been destroyed, the previous map or any significant remaining parts thereof, shall be preserved, together with all available records pertaining to its adoption or amendment.

(d)

Annexation. Any land subsequently annexed to the City shall be annexed in accordance with the procedures adopted by Mayor and City Council that are based upon state law and are part of the City Code. Such land shall, immediately upon annexation, be classified into a zoning category compatible with adjacent zoning and land uses, and sound planning principles in accordance with the procedures in Subsection 280-16(e) and applicable state law.
