A. 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 of the Fairbanks North Star Borough shall be that map located in the Office of the Department of Community Planning of the Fairbanks North Star Borough, and which shall be the final authority, as defined by ordinance, as to the current zoning status of all lands, water areas, buildings and structures in the Fairbanks North Star Borough.

B. Whenever amendments or changes are made in zoning district boundaries and/or classifications, such amendments or changes shall be promptly made on the official zoning map with reference made to the ordinance number and effective date of said change or amendment.

C. Changes of any kind shall not be made on the official zoning map except in conformance with the procedures set forth in this title. Any unauthorized change of any kind by any person or party shall be a violation of this title and punishable as provided herein.

D. 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 amendments thereto, the Borough Assembly may adopt a new official zoning map which shall supersede the prior official zoning map. Unless the prior official zoning map is lost or has been totally destroyed, the significant parts of that map remaining after partial destruction shall be preserved together with all records regarding its adoption and/or amendment. (Ord. 88-010 § 2, 1988. 2004 Code § 18.08.020.)
