17.14.010 Purpose—On file.
There is adopted as part of this title an official zoning map. The official zoning map will show the zone classifications or districts into which the city has been divided. The official zoning map shall be on file at the office of the mayor or city clerk, and there shall be only one official copy of the map. If, in accordance with this title and Chapter 35A.63 RCW, changes are made in the district boundaries or other matter portrayed on the map, such changes shall be entered promptly on the map after the amendment has been approved by the city council. The map shall bear the signature of the mayor attested by the city clerk or designee and the seal of the city. Such attest shall identify the map as an integral and essential part of this title. Copies of the map may be made and distributed as paper copies or digitally; however, in the event of a discrepancy, the official map on file shall govern. (Ord. 858 § 1 (part), 2009: Ord. 837 § 1 (part), 2008: Ord. 611, 1997; Ord. 136 § 3.05 (part), 1974)
17.14.020 Damaged or destroyed map—Procedure.
In the event that the official zoning map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost or difficult to interpret due to the number of changes and additions made upon it, the city council may, by resolution, adopt a new map to supersede the old one. A new map may correct errors or omissions in the prior map but no such corrections shall have the effect of amending the prior map. The new map shall be identified and attested in the manner of the prior map and using the following words:
This is to certify that this Official Zoning Map supersedes and replaces the Official Zoning Map as part of Ordinance No. _____ of the City of Ocean Shores, Washington.
This statement shall be accompanied by the signature of the mayor attested by the city clerk and the seal of the city. Unless otherwise impossible, the prior map and all available records pertaining to its adoption and amendment shall be preserved by the city clerk. (Ord. 858 § 1 (part), 2009: Ord. 837 § 1 (part), 2008: Ord. 611, 1997; Ord. 136 § 3.05 (part), 1974)
17.14.030 Applicability of map to all land areas.
A. All areas within the city limits shall be deemed to be within a zone. Any land area found or appearing on the map to have not been assigned a zone shall be regulated in accordance with the dominant adjacent zone by the city planner in accordance with the provisions of Sections 17.06.020 and 17.06.030.
B. Where no dominant adjacent zone can be determined, the city planner shall develop a recommendation of an appropriate zone based on the policies of the comprehensive plan and land use map. This shall be processed as an amendment to the zoning map as a city-proposed amendment in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.51.
C. As an alternative to the provisions of subsection (B) of this section, the owner or owners of such parcels may apply for a zoning map amendment to assign a zone to the parcel in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.51. (Ord. 837 § 1 (part), 2008)
