For the purpose of these regulations, the City of Brunswick, Georgia, is hereby divided into 18 districts (including three overlay districts) designated as follows:

(Ord. No. 1081, 9-20-2023)

The location and boundaries of each district are as shown on a map entitled "Official Zoning Map of Brunswick and Glynn County, Georgia," heretofore adopted on February 3, 1965 as amended, and as may be amended from time to time after that date. Said map, together with the explanatory writing and other entries thereon, consisting of multiple panels, has been and shall continue to be a part of this zoning ordinance until such time that a new and updated map of the city showing the current and correct location and boundaries of each district can be prepared by the city engineer. When such a new map is approved by vote of the city commission, then that new map shall become the official zoning map of the City of Brunswick and automatically replace the previous map as a part of this article. Said new map shall be updated periodically by the city engineer to update it to reflect any re-zonings which may occur in the future and shall be retained permanently in the office of the city engineer. The map of February 3, 1965, as amended, referred to above shall be permanently retained by the city engineer for future reference.

(Ord. No. 1081, 9-20-2023)

The following rules shall apply where uncertainty exists with respect to the district boundaries as shown on the zoning map:

(1)
