    The Official Zoning Map shall be identified by a signature block that includes the signature of the Mayor, and attested by the City Clerk, over the following words: "This is to certify that this is the official zoning map referred to in the Norcross Zoning Ordinance" together with the date of its adoption.

    (3)

    The location and boundaries of the zoning districts established by this zoning ordinance are depicted on and maintained as part of the city's geographic information system (GIS), under the direction of the City Manager. A print out or plot of this "zoning" geographic coverage layer that includes the signature block described in subsection (a)(2) above constitutes the City of Norcross' Official Zoning Map.

    Maintenance and updates. The Community Development and Planning Director is responsible for directing revisions to the official zoning map to reflect its amendment as soon as possible after the effective date of zoning map amendments. No unauthorized person may alter or modify the Official Zoning Map. The Community Development Director may authorize printed copies of the official zoning map to be produced, and must maintain digital or printed copies of superseded versions of the official zoning map for historical reference.

    (d)

    Replacement of official zoning map. 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 Mayor and City Council may by ordinance adopt a new official zoning map which shall supersede the prior official zoning map, and shall be identified by the signature block described in subsection 115-76(a)(2).

    (e)

    Annexation. Any land subsequently annexed to the city shall be annexed in accordance with the procedures adopted by mayor and council that are based upon state law and are part of the City Code.
