The official zoning map shall be identified by the signature of the mayor attested by the city clerk and bearing the seal of the city of Omak under the words, “This is to certify that this is the official zoning map of the City of Omak, Washington, adopted as part of Ordinance No. 1286.” (Ord. 1286 (part), 1995).

18.10.030 Zoning map amendment.

If amendments as authorized by Chapter 18.52 are made in the use district boundaries or other matter portrayed on the official zoning map, such changes shall be mapped, properly identified, and attached to the original official zoning map.

No defacement or changes shall be made to the original official zoning map, and it shall be kept in its original condition.

Boundaries which are other than street, alley, or lot lines shall be identified in the ordinance setting the limits of the use district or shall be shown by distances in figures on the official zoning map. The planning commission shall issue a ruling in the event the actual location of a boundary is called into question.

(b)    Where a use district boundary divides a parcel of land under a single ownership at the time of passage of the ordinance codified in this title, the least restrictive regulations may be extended to that portion lying in the more restrictive use district for a distance not to exceed fifty feet beyond the use district boundary. (Ord. 1286 (part), 1995).
