The map entitled “Zoning District Map of the Northwest Arctic Borough, Alaska” is adopted and made a part of this title. The map graphically depicts the geographic location of the zoning districts set forth in this title. Except as provided in subsection (B) of this section, the map may be amended only by an ordinance adopted by the assembly under the process set forth in Chapter 9.20 NABC. The map may require interpretation with respect to specific properties and the following apply:
A. The official map, regardless of the existence of copies, is located in the borough planning department. In case of doubt, the administrator shall determine the status of land within the borough as depicted on the official map.
B. In making determinations under this title, the borough may also use the Northwest Arctic Borough 1":200' and 1":50' regional land status maps and relevant U.S. Geological Survey 1:63,360 series quadrangle maps as of the date of this title and as hereafter revised, corrected or updated as supplements to determine the location of the village district and of uses within the village district.
C. To the extent practicable, district boundaries shall be construed to follow elevation contours, section lines, lease area boundaries, lot lines, municipal boundaries or platted lines. Tidelands, submerged lands, waters and ice seaward to the borough boundary of an adjoining district are within the subsistence conservation district unless otherwise mapped. Boundaries indicated as following shorelines are construed to follow such shorelines, and in the event of change of the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline.
D. Changes to land use district boundaries or other information portrayed on the zoning map shall be made on the date the zoning ordinance amendment becomes effective. If the zoning map contains drafting errors or is damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret, the assembly may by ordinance adopt a new zoning map or maps which shall supersede the prior zoning map and correct drafting errors and other errors or omissions. Such an ordinance may be adopted after review and recommendation of the planning commission, but the other requirements of Chapter 9.20 NABC shall not apply.
E. The limits of the village district for each village, except Noorvik, Noatak and Kiana, coincide with the corporate city limits of each respective municipality as determined by the state of Alaska. The limits of the village districts for Noorvik, Noatak and Kiana shall consist of the following:
1. Noorvik: the city limits, plus all of the land in Sections 26, 27, 34 and 35 of Township 17 North, Range 11 West, and Sections 2, 3 and 4 in Township 16 North, Range 11 West, Kateel River Meridian.

9.12.030 Subsistence conservation (SC) district.
A. Purpose. Subsistence use of lands and waters within the borough has traditionally been the primary and highest priority use. The subsistence conservation (SC) district encompasses certain undeveloped areas of the borough that have been determined to have high importance to borough residents for subsistence resources or activities. Recognizing SC districts provides a foundation for health, social and cultural well-being for borough residents. The SC district is intended to:
1. Include areas that are used regularly for subsistence harvest;
2. Conserve the natural ecosystem for all the various plants and animals upon which borough residents depend for subsistence; and
3. Promote access to those resources for subsistence purposes.
Uses will not be allowed unless the administrator or planning commission determines by substantial evidence that such uses will not interfere or conflict with subsistence uses. Subject to this overall intent, the SC district can accommodate mineral exploration and development and minor resource extraction, but applicants for major development projects must apply for rezoning to the resource development district. Commercial recreation uses are not allowed in the subsistence conservation district, except by permit. Mineral or oil and gas development requires a rezone to the resource development district because it is not allowed in this district. Except where excluded as a “use” under NABC 9.04.070, land use in the SC district is prohibited unless permitted or approved as required by this title.
B. Subdistricts. In addition to general areas zoned as the SC district, the following subdistricts are established as priority subsistence resource areas due to the sensitivity of the area and/or high subsistence use. The boundaries of the subdistricts, other than the Pah River subsistence conservation subdistrict, are depicted on the zoning district map.
1. Sisualik Spit subsistence conservation subdistrict.
2. Cape Krusenstern subsistence conservation subdistrict.

9.12.050 General conservation (GC) district.
A. Purpose. The general conservation (GC) district encompasses the undeveloped areas of the borough outside the boundaries of the other districts. The general conservation district is intended to conserve the natural ecosystem for all the various plants and animals used for subsistence. Major resource extraction will not be allowed without a zone change. Uses will only be allowed in the GC district if the administrator or planning commission determines such uses will not unreasonably interfere or conflict with access to or use of the environment or subsistence resources. Subject to this overall intent, the GC district can accommodate mineral and oil and gas exploration projects, minor resource extraction, and development projects on a limited scale. Applicants for major development projects, including oil and gas development, must apply for rezoning to the resource development district. Except where excluded as a “use” under NABC 9.04.070, land use in the GC district is prohibited, unless permitted or approved as required by this title.
