A.
The Village is hereby divided into zones or districts,
as shown on the Official Zoning Map titled "Zoning Map for the Village
of Cooperstown," which, together with all explanatory matter thereon,
is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this chapter.[1] The Official Zoning Map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor of the Village attested by the Village Clerk, and bearing the Seal of the Village under the following words: "This is to certify that this is the Official Zoning Map referred to in § 300-4A of the Zoning Law of the Village of Cooperstown, New York," together with the date of the adoption of this chapter.
[1]
Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is included as an attachment to this chapter.
B.
If, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter,
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 Village
Board of Trustees, together with an entry on the Official Zoning Map
as follows: "On (date), by official action of the Village Board of
Trustees, the following change (changes) were made in the Official
Zoning Map: (brief description of the nature of change)," which entry
shall be signed by the Mayor of the Village and attested by the Village
Clerk.
C.
The amending law shall provide that such changes or
amendments shall not become effective until they have been duly entered
upon the Official Zoning Map. No amendment to this chapter that involves
matter portrayed on the Official Zoning Map shall become effective
until after such change and entry have been made on said map.
D.
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 chapter. Any unauthorized change of whatever kind
by any person or persons shall be considered a violation of this chapter
and punishable as provided in this chapter.
E.
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
Village Clerk shall be the final authority as to the current zoning
status of land and water areas, buildings and other structures in
the Village.
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 Village Board of Trustees
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 Law or any subsequent amendment thereof. The new Official
Zoning Map shall be identified by the signature of the Mayor of the
Village, attested by the Village Clerk, and bear the Seal of the Village
under the following words: "This is to certify that this Official
Zoning Map supersedes and replaces the Official Zoning Map adopted
(date of adoption of map being replaced) as part of the Zoning Law
of the Village of Cooperstown, New York."
