A. The town is hereby divided into land use districts, as shown on the official land use district map which, together with all explanatory matter thereon, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be part of this chapter.

B. The official land use district map identifies the applicable land use district(s) for all real property which is located within the town, and the town's annexation plan area. The development of real property within a particular land use district as depicted on the official land use district map shall be subject to the applicable land use regulations for such district as set forth in the land use district guidelines, and this chapter. (Ord. 35, Series 2002)

C. If, in accordance with section 9-1-15-1 of this chapter, changes are made in land use district boundaries or other matters portrayed on the official land use district map, such changes shall be entered on the map. No amendment to the official land use district map shall become effective until entry of such change has been made on said map. (Ord. 8, Series 2011)

D. Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the official land use district map which from time to time may be made or published, the official land use district map, which shall be filed at the office of the director, shall be the authority as to the current land use status of land, buildings and other structures in the town.

E. In the event the official land use district map becomes damaged, destroyed, lost, or difficult to interpret because of the nature or number of changes and additions, the director is hereby authorized and directed to prepare a new official land use district map which shall supersede the prior official land use district map. The new official map may correct drafting or other errors or omissions in the prior official land use district map, but no such correction shall have the effect of amending the original official land use district map or any subsequent amendment thereof. Unless the prior official land use district map has been lost, or has been totally destroyed, the prior map or any significant parts thereof remaining, shall be preserved, together with all available records pertaining to its adoption or amendment. (Ord. 35, Series 2002)
