B.    Zoning Maps.

1.    Original Maps. The designations, locations and boundaries of the districts set forth in Chapter 40.200 shall be shown on the zoning maps of Clark County, Washington. Said maps and all notations, references, data and other information shown thereon shall be and are hereby adopted and made a part of this title. The signed copies of the zoning maps containing the zoning districts designated at the time of adoption of ordinance codified in this title shall be maintained without change on file in the office of the County Auditor. Any land or property not specifically identified with a zone designation shall be considered to be zoned as is the most restrictive zone classification designated on adjoining and/or abutting properties, until such time as it is determined otherwise by a rezone action.

2.    Revised Maps. Council may, from time to time, direct the County Auditor to replace the official zoning maps, or portions thereof, with a map or maps, or portions thereof, which include all lawful changes of zone to date. Such maps, or portions thereof, filed as replacements, shall bear dated, authenticating signatures of Council and County Auditor. Any maps or portions thereof thereby replaced shall be retained in a separate file by the County Auditor. Any revisions or replacements of said maps, when duly entered, signed, and filed with the County Auditor as authorized by this chapter, are part of this title.

3.    Copies of Maps. The responsible official shall maintain up-to-date copies of the zoning maps. The responsible official shall cause the copies of the zoning maps to be revised so that they accurately portray changes of zone boundaries.
