Official Maps Sample Clauses

Official Maps. An official map is a legally adopted map that conclusively shows the location and width of proposed roads or streets, public facilities and public areas and drainage rights-of- way. It is also commonly referred to as a major street plan. Although the Kansas statutes do not specifically authorize cities or counties to adopt an official map, K.S.A. 12-747, in its description of the elements that should be covered in a comprehensive plan, clearly contemplates that the plan include the type of information that is traditionally included in an official map. It goes without saying that the lack of specific statutory authority to adopt an official map in no way precludes a city or county from acting pursuant to their home rule authority to do so. In addition, K.S.A. 12-765, discussed below, granting authority to cities and counties to establish building or setback lines, does authorize cities doing so to incorporate by reference an official map in the ordinance or resolution, as the case may be. The adoption of an official map as a part of the community's comprehensive plan or as a stand alone document gives that community one additional point of reference and source of guidance when considering development applications relating to land that lies within the Corridor to determine whether the development proposed will have an impact on the improvements contemplated by the Corridor Management Plan.
