A.    The municipality is divided into the following zoning districts:

    

         B.    No zoning district established in this title shall be changed or a zoning district established after the effective date of a new zoning ordinance unless the districts are of the following minimum size:

        

    C.    Zoning District Map. The location and boundaries of the Zoning Districts established in the City             shall be shown on a Zoning District Map which is incorporated into this Zoning Code by reference.          The Zoning Map, together with all notations, references, and other information shown thereon, and         all amendments thereto, shall be a part of the City's Zoning Code and shall have the same force and         effect as if the Zoning Map, together with all notations, references and other information shown             thereon, were fully set forth and described herein.  

        The City Council shall cause to be published by no later than March 31 of each year the City's             Zoning District Map depicting the boundaries of the various Zoning Districts in the City and their             classification and which by reference to the Zoning Code of the City will show the Zoning uses,             restrictions and regulations pertaining to the land located in the City for each preceding calendar             year.  The first Zoning Map and Zoning Code of the City published April 14, 1969 reflects the             Zoning uses, divisions, restrictions, regulations and classifications in effect at that time.  If in any             year after the publication of the first Zoning Map of the City there are no changes in the Zoning Regulations in the City's Zoning Code and no changes in the Zoning Districts Boundaries in the             City, no map shall be required to be published for that year.

        In the event a discrepancy or inconsistency exists between the City's currently effective Zoning             District Map and boundaries of a Zoning District created by property descriptions contained in the         City Ordinances that zoned or rezoned the property or properties comprising the Zoning District, the         legal description contained in the applicable Zoning Ordinance or Zoning Ordinances will control             and shall preempt and take precedence over the Zoning District Map for purposed of defining the             boundaries of the Zoning District.

        The zoning or rezoning of property in the City shall be by enactment of an ordinance which contains         the metes and bounds description of the boundary of the property which is the subject of the zoning         or rezoning and such zoning or rezoning shall take effect on the effective date of the ordinance             creating the zoning or rezoning.  The amendment of the Zoning Code which involves a change in             Zoning District Boundaries shall become effective by the enactment of the ordinance and on the             effective date of the ordinance which will create the Zoning District Boundary change.
