Latest version.

  • (a)

    Incorporated by reference; identification. The city is divided into zones or districts as shown on the official zoning map which, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is adopted by reference and declared to be part of this chapter. The official zoning map shall be identified by the signature of the mayor, attested by the city secretary, 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 52-8 of the Code of Ordinances of Justin, Texas" together with the date of the adoption of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived.

    (b)

    Certification of amendments. If, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and V.T.C.A., Local Government Code ch. 211, changes are made in district boundaries or other matter portrayed on the official zoning map, such changes shall be made on the official zoning map promptly after the amendment has been approved by the city council, together with an entry on the official zoning map as follows: "On (date), by official action of the city council, the following change/changes were made in the official zoning map: (brief description of the nature of change)", which entry shall be signed by the mayor and attested by the city clerk. The amending ordinance shall provide that such changes or amendments shall not become effective until they have been duly entered upon the official zoning map. No amendment to this chapter that involves matter portrayed on the official zoning map shall become effective until after such change and entry has been made on the map.

    (c)

    Unauthorized changed prohibited. No changes of any nature shall be made in the official zoning map or matter shown thereon except in conformity with the procedures set forth in this chapter and as provided by state law. Any unauthorized change of whatever kind by any person or persons shall be considered a violation of this chapter and punishable as provided in section 1-10.

    (d)

    Clerk's copy declared controlling. Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the official zoning map which may from time to time be made or published, the official zoning which shall be located in the office of the city clerk, shall be the final authority as the current zoning status of land and water areas, buildings, and other structures in the city.

    (e)

    Replacement of official copy. 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 city council may by resolution adopt a new official zoning map, which shall supersede the prior official zoning map. 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 city zoning regulations or any subsequent amendment thereof. The new 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 official zoning map supersedes and replaces the official zoning map adopted (date of adoption of map being replaced)."
