    Procedure for recording change on zoning map.

    1.

    For an official zoning map which is maintained by manual drafting methods:

    a.

    The territory affected by the map amendment shall be shown on the appropriate map page with a serial number, and entry shall be made in a tabular column recording the number of the amendment, the ordinance number, and the signature of the municipal clerk attesting the recording of the change.

    b.

    The assembly may by ordinance adopt a new zoning map when an official zoning map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret by reason of the nature or number of the changes and additions. The new zoning map may correct drafting and other errors or omissions in the prior zoning map, but no such correction shall have the effect of amending the original map. Such new zoning map shall be marked "This zoning map adopted by ordinance of the assembly on   date   superseded the zoning map adopted   date   ," which statement shall be signed by the chair of the assembly and attested by the municipal clerk. Unless the prior zoning map is lost or has been entirely destroyed, the map or its significant parts thereof remaining after partial destruction shall be preserved, together with all records of the assembly regarding its adoption and amendment.

    2.

    For an official zoning map which is maintained by computer drafting methods:

    a.

    The data base for the territory affected by the map amendment shall be revised as specified in the amending ordinance and identified with a serial number recording the number of the amendment, the ordinance number, the date of adoption, the ordinance effective date, the date the data entry, and the operator identification.

    b.

    A substitute map page shall be machine drafted which depicts the amendment and the pertinent information on the amendment. The map page shall have a border graphic which identifies the map page as a substitute and a reference to the serial number of the map page being replaced.

    c.

    The director of the department of community planning and development shall sign the substitute map page, noting the revision of the data base, and the municipal clerk shall sign the substitute map page attesting to the recording of the change. The substitute map page shall then replace the corresponding map page in the official zoning map.

    d.

    The replaced map page shall have the border graphic trimmed from the map page and the map page shall be retained for a minimum of one year. At the end of the retention period the map page shall be microfilmed and the original destroyed. The microfilm copy of the map page shall be maintained by the department of community planning and development.

    e.

    A map page that is damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret may be replaced in accordance with the procedure set forth in subsections a through d of this subsection.
