The city is hereby divided into zones, or districts, as shown
on the official zoning map, which, together with all explanatory matter
thereon, is adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this
article.
(1977 Code, sec. 13-21)
The official zoning map shall be identified by the signature
of the mayor attested by the city secretary, and bearing the seal
of the city under the following words: “This is to certify that
this is the Official Zoning Map referred to in Division 2 of [the]
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Tulia, Texas, adopted 1965.”
(1977 Code, sec. 13-22)
If, in accordance with the provisions of this article, changes
are made in district boundaries or other matter portrayed on the official
zoning map, such changes shall be made on the official zoning map
promptly after the amendment has been approved by the city council.
The amending ordinance shall provide that such changes or amendments
shall not become effective until they have been duly entered upon
this official zoning map.
(1977 Code, sec. 13-23)
No changes of any nature shall be made in the official zoning
map or matter shown thereon except in conformity with the procedures
set forth in this article. Any unauthorized change of whatever kind
by any person or persons shall be considered a violation of this article
and punishable as provided under this article.
(1977 Code, sec. 13-24)
Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the official
zoning map which may from time to time be made or published, the official
zoning map which shall be located in the office of the city secretary
shall be the final authority as the current zoning status of land
and water areas, buildings and other structures in the city.
(1977 Code, sec. 13-25)
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 may by resolution adopt a
new official zoning map which shall 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
shall have the effect of amending the original zoning ordinance or
any subsequent amendment thereof. The new official zoning map shall
be identified by the signature of the mayor attested by the city secretary,
and bearing the seal of the city under the following words: “This
is to certify that this Official Zoning Map supersedes and replaces
the Official Zoning Map adopted __________ as part of the Zoning Ordinance
of the City of Tulia, Texas, adopted __________, 1965.”
(1977 Code, sec. 13-26)
