Filing and Posting: The Official Zoning Map, or a true copy of it must be on file in the office of the Tiffin City Clerk, and it is the final authority on the correct zoning status of the land, water areas, buildings, and other structures in the City. 3. Changes in Official Zoning Map a. If in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 “Administration and Enforcement Violations and Penalties” of this Ordinance and Iowa Code §414.4, changes are made in district boundaries or other matter portrayed on the Official Zoning Map, the changes must be entered on the map promptly after the amendment has been approved by the City Council, with an entry on the Official Zoning Map as follows: “By official action of the City Council, the following changes were made on the Official Zoning Map.” The changes made must be shown by ordinance numbers and date of publication.

Replacement of the Official Zoning Map. 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 adopt an ordinance approving a new Official Zoning Map that will 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 must have the effect of amending the original Official Zoning Map or any subsequent amendment.
